How do you find your BC coils? Also, it is perhaps better to repair the big dents in your fenders before new rim and tire combos? Or is it a trial and error thing and maybe you wanna dial in your set up before u risk damaging your fenders again? In which case, i gets it!

Just like everyone else is saying, go lower, stretch the tires and go for the max camber on stock LCA's.

I'm running 215/35/19s and 235/35/19s on 19x9 and 19x10. I say go with 225/35 fronts and 245/35 rears. It'll be less meaty which gives you more clearance and to go lower. Just because he has AIR doesnt mean your not going to rub. You gotta dial in your camber and etc.

Those dents on the fenders look pretty identical. Bad roll imo + it looks like you flared them out a bit. Once you go lower with thinner tires your wheels will camber.

Just to clear things up, the dents on the fender are from me hitting the gate to my development. This is also why the side marker lights are busted. The dents are not from the roll.

Thank you to those who gave suggestions.

Bombsquad, the BC coils are pretty smooth, so far they are quiet no noise or squeaks. I like how it can get very low too. Yes, I am doing a trial and error, waiting to get everything fitted properly before I address the dents and other cosmetics.

If you don't mind, could you post a straight side picture?
