Thanks, me too! Plus they're something new that hasn't been done on the CG, that I know of.

Me and you wide fitment crew lol! You will finish yours before mine though. I'm doing 18x11 265/35/18 all around

If you can pull off this fitment, it might be ROTM-worthy

Depends on offset and camber, good luck fitting all that tire in there without cutting fenders and putting on flares.

"If" and "might be" haha. There's no if about it, only a matter of when. ROTM would be cool, but I'm sure a lot of people aren't a fan of camber.

I have a devious plan muahahahaha! >=). It will work no ifs, ands or buts about it. Has to do with airride, hella pull on fenders and of course rolling. I have flares on my list too.

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately this project has been put on hold. The rear fitment is fine, just getting the front to the amount of camber wanted/needed is a little harder than expected. So now I have to wait and do some research on what parts I need to get the front to have more camber. I believe some parts on the bottom are going to need to be custom made/extended to get some added degrees of negative camber that way instead of all from the upper control arms[UCA].

What's causing all the problems is the knuckle/arm (what ever you want to classify it as) that runs from the wheel hub up to the UCA gets pushed up against the coilover with added degrees of negative camber. The most you can get without modifying anything is -6, and at that point you still have to shave some metal off the back of the knuckle/arm and still feel safe to drive on it.

So now I have to figure out what to extended on the bottom end to add a few more degrees that way so it's not all from the top end, and hope that solves the clearance issue. My thought is to extend the lower control arm[LCA] (that goes from the frame to the wheel hub), but i'm not sure if that will work. Or, how much it would need to be extended.

Any input or ideas are welcomed.
