more neg camber would help too. that was key for having my Type Ts fit when my ass was so slammed.

Yeah, but IE's aren't very low and I can't see whitey getting adjustable camber plates in the front to add more negative camber.

Hubcentric rings still need a lip to mount on, you will understand once you get them.

ET20 with 225's on a 7" wheel will be close, as you can see my ET20 7" with 205's almost rubs, but with some fender rolling you will be ok.

Ohh, ok TJ, I understand how the spacers work now. Forgive me, never really used them before

You do not have any fender rolling done, right?

I figure another 7mm of fender clearance [compared to my MiM's] should put me in the clear since my fenders are rolled

Ya, no real plan for that right now

Yeah, what happens with spacers with no lips is that they use whats still available of the hub lip. This works with up to 8mm spacers I believe. Anything above that, and the spacer has its own lip that it uses instead of the hub lip. Hubcentric rings basically just make the center bore of the rim smaller, they don't have a lip or anything.

My inner fender lips are rolled in, but the fenders aren't rolled out at all. I hit my tires to my fenders every now and then, so I have to roll it back up. Take a look at your fenders and you will see how the metal lip goes up into the wheel well, I rolled that so its more straight up and down.

you never know. it could have been a possibility. it's matt. he buys a lot of modding shit


i need to bang my fenders flat with a hammer sometime. that, or use a fender roller

A wooden baseball bat works great, rolls pretty evenly too.

is that something you did with the fender on the car? is there a write-up anywhere? would save a lot of money over renting a fender roller...

Yeah, thats how I rolled my inner lips. You don't need a write up, it's easy. First, jack up the car so there is enough space to fit the bat between the fender and the tire, with a little bit of extra space. Then, use a heat gun (or a hair dryer but it won't do as well) to heat up the paint on the fender so it won't crack. Then just use the tire for leverage and push the bat up to push the metal lip in.

I don't recommend this for rear fender rolling, as in pulling the fender out. Just do this if you need a little more space with the inner fender lip.

You won't need to roll with the setup you are going to be running anyways.
