I am confused as to how this would work, if I lower the car and put spacers on it and the wheels are out just a bit past the fender, when I hit a bump will the wheels hit the fender?

It depends.

The wheels "camber in" as they go upwards (as the suspension compresses).

Unless you're really good at math / geometry, you need to mount them w/o the spacers, add weight and see how much spacing you have.

Ah yes camber , I was wanting to go as low as possible without having too much camber. I was going for the flush look but I guess I'll just have to settle for them being under the fender's a lil. thanks for the input.

you can allways roll the fenders to match your spacing..not to hard to do with a tool.

Yea thats another good idea, I was on a uk skyline forum and I think I may go with getting them flared. Thank you for you input everybody.
