    Otherwise it is just a matter of time before you WILL catch the lip and fuck up the paint.
    +1. when i had my euro weaves on with 205/55/15 tires, i cought the lip of the fender on a hard turn and it messed up the paint pretty good, as well and deforming the fender....still havent fixed it though...

        take out the springs?

        on my first car I learned the lesson of unrolled fenders.

        On my 325i, my fenders are about as rolled as you can get (Without the lip being flared), If my car can't fit it, I doubt anyone else will

        Seriously, its so fast compared to trying to fix a seriously messed up lip (They get all ripped up and out, then starts to rust) its worth the effort.

            I think you guys just need stiffer suspensions.

            I ran ET25 225's and never caught a fender. The only time I did was with ET24 215's, because I wasn't running bumpstops during an auto-x. And even then it was TINY.

                The trick in this game is CAMBER. I am running 225's on 15x7 et17 with absolutely no problems.

                    Ireland fixed plates with crash mounts. Last time I got an alignment they measured 2.5 degrees on their machine. They will be for sale shortly since I just ordered the motorforce adjustable plates.
