Default Front Fitment Guru's come on in

I have RCA's up front for starters so I don't want to run uber camber
But can I run 225/35/20 or 225/30/20 tires (rears will be 235/30/20).

For the following front offset?

20x8.5 +20? Or will I need to shave 5mm off the offset making it a +25?
Fenders will be rolled.
Thanks

I was running 8.5 +15 with a 225/35/20. I can't not imagine going any lower profile than that. Minor roll to fenders with RCA's. I could have pushed anoth 5mm too.

Here's what it looked like.

Were you hitting the Strut tower? Or did you cut holes?

Rarely hit, only on major dips. No cutting ether.

The thump you hear is the UCA. You can change coils all you want, you will still hit the UCA on the fenderwell.
