Default For Those Who Are Slammed or Running 11" Wide, Please Help

I'm on the hunt for new wheels again but I have a few questions. The specs of the new wheels are 20x9 +15 20x11 +15. I will be running 225/35 front and 245/35 rear for the tires. I have my front and rear fenders rolled flat and a slight pull to them. I am also slammed.

The question is, I am running stock camber arms how much camber would be needed to clear the rear fenders? Would I need to buy new camber adjusters?

Another question, For those who are slammed, what did you guys do with your front inner liner? I'm rubbing the top part of the liner like crazy!! Should I just completely remove the entire liner? And what is the worst that can happen if I do remove it? Dirty engine bay? Electrical problems? etc....

Thanks for all the help Fam!!

I cut the top middle of the front fender liner. In the rear you will need 4+ degrees of camber. Im running an 11.5 but a little less aggressive and im at 3.7 degrees, I need like 4-4.2 and it would be perfect but i couldnt get it lower and keep my toe at zero. The front im not rolled flat yet and im running 2.8 degrees 9.5 +10 I rub when i turn. Same story in the front for camber. Toe close to zero and thats the most camber i can get.

I'm running the same size tires as u...with 20x9 in front and 20x10 in the rear. I had my fenders and quarters rolled...and rubbed every now and then...i wasn't happy with it...so i got all four shaved CLEAN OFF...and now i only rub my nose like Bruce Lee when i hit dips and hear Silence.........Lol.......yes its very quiet now because i took the fender liners and splash guards out completely....your offsets are better than mine...i'm at +20 and +25

Thanks fellas.

SirLex400- hahahaha with the Bruce Lee metaphor LMAO!! Another question, have you ran into any problems since you've removed the front splash guards and inner liners?

And what is the max negative camber I can put into the stock arms?
