What can you fit in between your tire and fender? I have such little clearance, I can only fit a razor in there. This is the definition of razor-thin right here.



But really I rolled my fenders to fit the 225/50's. Sidewall is too tall and I still have 195/50's up front so it looks like a drag car, but I needed new rear tires and I got these for cheap so I don't care. By the time these are done I'll probably have new wheels anyways.

Thread might fail which is cool, but I'm bored so I'll post anyways.

Post a picture of something you can fit in between your tire and fender. Whether you be fellahushin' it for real, or have major fender gap, just post a picture of something between your tire and fender/quarter panel.

Hmm idk I'll reserve this spot for a pic but I'd guess probably my sidekick. For those who don't the sidekick is a phone the size of a damn psp haha. You can sorta see the wheel gap in my avatar.

Haha I can get 2 credit cards to stay, that's all of the razor that would fit in there. I need to get an alignment to see what my camber is, it's probably around -2. I love your stance.

Then post a picture! Then maybe everyone buying wheels will realize that 18x7 +45 will never look good.

If the offset is higher than +45, then yes. They are super cool. Too rad for this thread, even.

Haha but I wanted the thread to turn into something more than "cool story bro" so I made it actually have a purpose!
