How much of a pull or roll would i need to run 15x7 +0 if i ran like 1.5 degrees of camber? because right now i have stock RUCAs and wow, the littlest i could get my camber right now with how low my car is is 3.8 degrees which is RIDICULOUS but its extremely flush right now, i used a bad and rolled the little lip in but im going to be getting spl rucas and going to take most of the camber out, aiming for about 1.5 degrees camber and im wondering how much my wheel would end up sticking out past the fenders. get it? ahah thanks in advance

Don't know what your idea of stock is... but when I had 16x8 +6 (effectively 16x7 -7 on the outside) w/ 225/50R16 tires, I was able to run "flush" w/ just a roll. Total camber was -2.

w/ a 15x7+0, you should only need to roll your fenders & it should tuck right in. Pulling doesn't make sense for the size/offsets you have. w/ -3.8 camber, it should actually be tucked, according to general consensus.

Maybe if you took a picture from different angles ppl will understand what your definition of flush is.

And if you searched through a few of the threads, you are running a pretty common size relatively, and no one else really has problems w/ this size rim.

Well, in that case, you shouldn't have a problem w/ 1.5 camber & ur current setup w/ just a roll.

Should be zero pulling required.

dude, are you taking care of my beloved meshies? I miss them

oh, and if your low enough, just bust out a roll of news paper and do a newspaper roll if you need to. But like QV said, you should be good with just a roll.
