    oh, you'll have to roll them all right... you may even have to pull them a little bit, and add some rear camber.

    i ran 245/45-17s this summer, and they HAD to be rolled, and that was with +48 17x8 wheels. your +44 offset guarantees that you'll have to roll them.

    P.S. this is the rear I'm talking about... the front should be fine.

    i'd get some cusco camber plates. it could help you get some clearance by moving the strut in a bit... i wouldn't do it instead of rolling, but it might give you that last bit of clearance you'll need.

    but you will be throwing off the handling pretty well. these things understeer enough on their own, then throwing a bunch of camber in won't help.

    finally, get a really stiff sway bar. I'm runnin a 24mm (Whiteline) out back, and that really cut down on rubbing during an experiment with camber settings i ran this year.

    I dunno, i like the new rims more than the old ones. Not because they're Volks either. Cause i'm not a name brand snob. I just like the silver on silver.



    Now, if we can only get one of those cheap ass tires to blow on you again.... ;)

    ahhhh you suck and instead of rolling fenders why not just get a wide body kit to make it more show and even less go?

    What we got here is failure, to communicate.

    I think Nathan was saying that his wheels are an inch larger in diameter...
