Another sportmax question

cmyk · 11-17-2006, 09:23 AM

I just got delivery of sportmax and am eager to get them fitted, would I be mad to fit them without rolling the arches? 195/50s, camber and im not that low?

the front will probably rub on turns.

i dont know how much camber you need but you definitly need to roll the fender..you dont wana be cutting your new tires right?..but yeah one way that absolutly involves no money is take a hair dryer and heat the fender..then take a bat or a stick and carefully push it up against the tires...but go slow..or you might crack the paint

I put my Sportmax on before I rolled the fenders and they rubbed in the rear over large bumps. I had my KYBs set at 7 though.....

Balls, I was hoping you guys werent gonna say that, have to wait 3 weeks to book the car in for rolling.

Can anyone give me a link to the correct size lug nuts to use with these too? Gorilla I believe work but I dont know which are the correct size? Pref security nuts too.

a guy i know is running 3 degrees of camber up front nad 2.5 in the rear.

With i believe 195-50-15

fits nicely.
