Default Re: New Wheels in, need help

Thank you both for your input and encouragment.

Mike, could send the spacers with the links and camber arms and I'll return them once I figure out the spacing? My bolts are tappered so I can't use ball seats. Discount tire is letting use a variety of length of bolts to determine fitment. If I can't find a 12mm and 15mm set of spacers I may just have to order some.

Les, thanks for the input. I think I will just roll the fenders like you said. Could I ask a huge favor of you? When you get time could you measure the clearance in two areas for me? The first is the clearance from the inner lip of your front wheel to the upper control arm. Second, the inner lip of the wheel on the rear to the closest part of the inner wheel well? The area that is towards the front of the rear wheel well in front of the shock just above the trailing link as I circled in red in the picture above?

I know you drive your car hard, have fit various size tires, and have similar width wheels with what I just got. I think this will help give me a baseline of clearance that works just so I can get the tires mounted and fine tune some more.
