2gs fenders are hard to work with because they dimple easily. make sure heat is used and ive seen most people on the forums recommend shaving rear and rolling front.

either way, your definitely gonna have camber if your dropped.

oh you did so roll the rear all the way and the front roll and pull? I do like to be low like no wheels space but if I will rub bad then I'll have to change the height lol

its all in trial and error buddy. But 225/30/20 on 10 rear? i did 255/30/20 on 11" and it would leak at the bead. i had to run bead sealer and it still has a slow leak. good luck on your adventure.
