Well I have decided that my tiread are not flush enough. So I am wondering if you guys think a 1/8th or 1/4th spacer would be better? I plan on rolling the fenders too.

Diablostang, what size do you have? And did you have to do anything to get them to fit good? I am also about to get some Nitto 315's which run a tad smaller that the tires I currently have.

I ran 1/4 inch spacers, and sometimes over a reallly big bump the rear tires would rub on the fenderwell, but not enough to tear up the tires.. so it wasn't a big deal at all.

On the inside part of the fender or the outside?

And you had H&R Race springs huh?

Using spacers would eliminate the possibility of rubbing the inner fender. The thought has crossed my mind to put 1/4 spacers in there, that way I could also re-install my quad-shocks, but then I think my Sumitomo's would rub the fender lip and I'm too cheap to have them rolled. I think with your Nitto's and rolling the fender lip you should be fine with 1/4". It'll look even more awsome.

i myself have been thinking of adding a 1/4" spacer to the rear to get them a bit more flush.

where would one get their fenders rolled? body shop?

315's with 1/4" spacers out back...haven't rolled the lip but plan too...rubbing isn't bad at all, only problem I have is pulling into a driveway or something at an angle.

I have more angles if you want.
