So I am trying to pick up a set of FDs for my FC to get a little extra meat for track days. I know I need a spacer up front, but from the photos I've seen, the front tire hangs out over the fender. With the intent of tracking the car, I want to make sure the tire tucks up under the fender during hard cornering.....Soo......does anyone have FDs and have them FIT under the fender?


EDIT: I just found what I was looking for...Looks like I need coilovers....son of a....so......does anyone rub under heavy cornering with them hanging out?

 

Ever considered pulling the fender? I did it on mine with a heat gun, a floor jack, and a stack of newspapers. I installed 18x8 +45 wheels on my car all around. I installed 16mm spacers and extended studs up front, and 1" spacers in the rear (bolt-on spacers, not slip-on). I only had to pull the front fenders, not the rears. If the 8" wheels fit up front on mine with a fender pull, then 7" wheels will fit without coilovers.

how does it get done? Heat up the inside of the fender, stick the paper in between the tire and the fender, lower the car really quick?

Ignore the dirty fender well.
