i am getting ready to begin running my airlines and make my mounting brackets for compressor and other parts to go under my car.

my main question is how do i get the front wheel to move in with out hitting the fender like i have on so many xbs. i have the fender rolled as much as i can and it looks like it will still hit. i was just wondering what everyone one else has done to make sure this has not happened.

thanks for the help

What wheels are you running? What are the specifications? What tires (size) are you running with them?

The stock wheels should clear without any issue. Every aftermarket wheel has to be looked at individually based on their specifications. For instance a 7.5" wide wheel needs a minimum of +35 offset. If you move up to an 8" wide wheel you need at least +47/+48 offset.

If you have already rolled you fenders, and are still having problems, it is probably time to sell the wheels.

ok it is hitting where the front bumper mounts up to the fender in front of the tire. that is the only place

if you went 8" wide w/ a +47/+48 the wheel will hit your suspension. you'll need to change up to a lower offset and not a higher offset.

If you run a +35 offset on an 8" wide wheel there is no way you will tuck into the wheel well. Conflicts with suspension won't matter as you will be laying your fender out on your tire.

In order to continue to tuck a wheel as you choose wider and wider wheels you must maintain the "front spacing." Every 1/2" you add in width requires 12.7" more positive offset. Another thing to remember is that the larger diameter your wheel, the less likely you are to get a suspension conflict.

If you start running into conflicts with your suspension, there are two ways to solve it. One is to modify your suspension. This can be difficult, and very cost prohibitive. Your second option is to purchase wheels with proper fitment.

easiest way to tuck w/ a 8" wide wheel is adjust the camber. we've done up to a 9.5" wide wheel on a scion and it still tucks. say if you went w/ a 18x8 +40 or higher the wheel will hit lower section of your suspension in the rear and you won't be able to spin the wheels w/ out causing damage.

I have 18x7.5 ET 40 that hit hard on the fenders. Mine are stamped 40 but fit more like 35. Ive got a friend that tucks some 18x7.5 ET 40 clean, so it really depends on what wheels you have. If your wheels are between 40-45, most are, your best bet is to get cusco camber plates for the front, and remove the fender/bumper clip for better clearence.

correct. my wheels are 7.5 with a +45 and I had to run spacers to have them clear the air cylinders...

Does anyone know what the offset and width is on the 18" TRD racing harts? I think they are 7.5" wide right? I am planning on doing air ride in about a month, and now i wonder if I need new wheels first??
