Tire Tuck
I have a 97 ls on 20" Lexions. Im on Megan EZ coils and I want to remove the wheel gap on the front fenders.
I see a lot of guys tucking the tires and I want to know if they get any rub or how slow they have to go to get up driveways.
It's my daily driver so Im not going extreme but I'd like to be a bit lower. Id like to be as flush as possible and less gap.
The wheels are 20x8.5 with a +38 offset with 225/35/20 tire with 10mm spacer. Rears are 20x9.5 +39 offset with 245/30/20 tire with a 10mm spacer, maybe could use a 15mm (seems like I have more clearance on the passengers side, is that normal?). Fenders are shaved/rolled. Fender liners are cut up front.
Any thoughts are appreciated, thanks!
Im sure PD will have some insight for this setup.

Camber in and you should be fine with nothing more than a roll or cutting the fender lip off. Those aren't very agressive specs so it shouldn't be that hard to do.
And yes, you will definitely have to go slow up and down driveways but that is par for the course with any slammed car!

The wife drives the car sometimes so could be risky....
