My front fenders are pulled a lot, there is zero "lip" on it. It rubs when I turn, but so little and in such a way it makes no noise. I have quite a balance on the front, not sure how it works so well, but it does.
The rear works very easy, my back seats are just for show. There aren't even seat belts in the back.
mine are rolled but nothing too excessive, stretch and camber would help me too lol what would you recommend for the rear I cant go too much lower because it just forces the wheel too much forward and I recently bought coils so im pretty sure irs is out of the question or is it? I currently have 7.5 wide by 18 with no stretch, I saw someone on the forum run 17x9.75 +25 with
215/45/17 and that makes me think of what issues I might run into if I ran that type of set up

If you're hell bent on keeping the swing arm rear, then you can always extend it.
That amount of stretch is just aweful, IMO. If those rims had wider tires on it, I'd bet they would look amazing, but being able to see into the bead seat is beyond ridiculously stretched. Never liked it, never will.
It's too bad, because the work you do on everything else is beautiful.

You guys suck at reading.
I love it. I still think you need to do a settle flare / or wide body.

Took the majority of the night off, however, was at the shop for a half hour or so. I've been contemplating the last while about bumper removal. This previous summer it had to come off twice and both times it wasn't quick, nor was it a lot of fun. Believe it or not there are a lot of "quick release" type things gears towards bumpers. I wanted small, relatively descreet and something that didn't draw your eyes away. I think I've got just the thing.
Installed one, no bracketry or anything yet. I think they will work well.
Is it bad that most of the build so far is to make it easier to get on a tow-truck?
Don't blame ya one but on that one. Let the epic thread carry on...
Great idea on the quick fasteners!
Oh man that is right on point, my car is on the flatbed more than anything, quick fasteners would save me time as well LOL.

x2. I had my first roll back experience not too long ago; this would have been extremely helpful. Now, let the glory of this thread continue.

I plan on using a similar setup on my car... Once I've decided what front bumper im going with.
Well gentlemen, (and potential ladies)
There is no real lead up to this, so here you go.
Im overwhelmed by how amazing my wheel width and offset guess worked. Could not be happier.
PS, the right rear wheel is flat, that is why there is some aweful wheel gap on the left rear side.
On behalf on the Internet, enjoy being famous.
In the words of reddit, op wins. Beautiful man.

Ok now this I approve of! I hated those Vett wheels.
I love you.
Now fit the front lip properly. The zip ties are ugly.

Still not low enough for a signature.
very nice
can't wait to see rolling shots
on the front bumper, make a bracket that you rivit to the bumper so where you would have bolts run up into the fender there are alignment pins that slide into the fender so that the dzus is just holding the bumper in place but the pins keep the bumper where it needs to be.... if that makes sense.

Those wheels look very similar to what I have for my BMW which makes me enjoy this very much. Very nice work on all you've done thus far!
Enjoy having the widest wheels ever placed on a Cav. (I think)
definitely liking these more than the vette wheels.
still needs to be a nut hair lower to pull off 110% HERRAFRUSH though, so the rim lip is just barely off the body. LOL
It's nice to be injected but I love being blown.
