Yeah. I heard its a difficult process since we have rear disc brakes. I can't wait thought. I'm running on DF210's with 19x10 rears with a +24 offset and its giving me major rubs in the rear when i roll wit backseat riders.

I have 19x10 rears with a +30 offset on DF210's, had the same problem so I stretched the fenders out about 1.5" all the way around and I haven't really had any problems since.

Did you just use a fender roller to stretch your fender out 1.5in? I'm trying to knock mine out, driving me nuts. The bat trick doesnt work because the stock wheels are pushed into far for the rears. I'm about ready to bust out the saw and cut the darn lip off and then stretch it. If I could get 1.5in extra I'd be back in business. That and get stiffer springs or coilvers. I had to yank my wheels for my steelies due to really bad fender rubbing, the bumper bolt ripped through my tire with an extra large passanger. I think My suspension is just too soft. Anyone want to sell me thier coilovers or road magnet springs?? lol

Get the fenders rolled, bro. It's the only way. If you cut the lip, you'll have to take some extra precations to make sure nothing gets inbetween the two panels (i.e. water, dirt, gunk.). You'll get some mean rust otherwise.

There should be at least a few people in your area with a roller and willing to do the work for some beer and pizza.

Nope, no fender roller here. Used a 2-inch thick pipe, took all of an hour. I also had the same problem with the bolts so I removed them. Afterwords, I tried to separate the bumper from the rear fender well with a fair amount force and was unsuccessful. If you roll your fenders the same way, be prepared for a little paint touch-up.

pics please. I would like to see a +30 and stretched fenders out a 1.5". I know my +38 sit dead flush and you are running a +30 which pushes them out even more.

Thanks man! Yeah if you're not afraid to do it, our fenders can be stretched for forever. Thanks for the compliments, it'll be looking even better after I get my wheels out of storage and into a paint shop ;)

thats a CLEAN box..i like the wheels...a lot!! now, a newbie question...what is the point of camber plates and why do people want it soo bad? it looks goofy to me to have your wheels pointing out.

when ppl get low it looks funny when the tires are tucked back into the well. so you space them out to get more even with the fender...

now i wasnt talking about those kind of camber plates tho...i mean the front strut camber plates, for the top of the struts... im on bags and imusing the stock strut but the top plates are real thick.
