thanks guys! no, they didnt clear stock fenders in the front. i have 30mm overs now and it clears them with the 215/40s and almost 4 deg camber. but rears had no problem fitting.

i thought about going staggered, but 9s up front just didnt look right to me. i love the deep lip in the front, it gives it a mean stance. but, you definitely wont have to worry about the clearance issues i do. so, good luck, and enjoy. appreciate the positive feedback too guys!

i've got some new wheels in mind too, but i'm not too sure on the fronts

18x9,5J offset 20 with 225/40R18 up front

from what i've measured using my current rear wheels it should fit, what do guys you think?

stock fenders, with about 2.5 degrees camber
and def not as low as RTY PWR

Just an FYI. I just put my Mustang Cobra wheels on. They are 17x9 +26. They fit very flush under my stock fenders with 235/45/17 front and 245/45/17 rear. I did have to do a roll with the jack handle. I was able to use the stock wheel studs, I just had to get new lugs, and I didn't need any spacers. I'm running a full ground control coilover setup.

I won't be able to take pics until after Christmas.

I think i may be changing over to those front fenders when i get back from deployment, plus rears too, so i can stay that low and still slide. good idea?

well there are guys running a 275/40r17, and a 285/30r18 under the corksports on a 17x9, and 18x10 without excessive camber, around +10-15 offset so your setup should fit. your car is pretty low though, if you put on some side skirts and rear bumper to match the front lip it would look extremely low. what is the issue with what you have now?

Also if you notice the body line right above the front tire, the corkpsport have a 2in overhang (just measured the one in my room) where yours is ~1/2in-1in from the body line. That would make your front tire tuck up into the fender more without going lower. The corksport are also supposed to be a true +30mm or larger.

They're a good setup for how cheap they can be had for. I picked these up for $150 with bad tires and missing two center caps.

Here's the real pics.

I have the shineauto 30mm and 17x10 +20 with a 15mm spacer up front to clear the coilover. if i didnt have to use that spacer just to clear i'd be fine. but with that offset on the wheel then i'd have no problem. my tire already tucks, the only problem i have is turning. it bows out the fender since its fiberglass

corksports are quite a bit wider than shines. they claim 30mm, but its more like 20mm. corksport is at least 30, maybe more. i'm one of them running 295's under corksports.
