This looks good but you're going to destroy your front fenders, you need to get the front fitment sorted out. It's got way too much poke right now.

More low for natural camber and a roll and pull. You should be fine after that. Looks really good though I like it.

No worries. In the pictures, the fenders weren't pulled yet. I pulled them quite a bit after the picture, will pull little more when I find the time. If it still rubs, I'm just going to cut, flare, weld, and repaint the front fenders.

good job on the initiative!

i personally would have just redrilled. so you say the wheels would not clear the brakes even if you did redrill? it's hard to tell but i feel with that much concavity it should clear. i suppose someone else needs to do it (maybe me haha).

please show us the final outcome after all the fender work and ride height adjustment.

Family stickers for more of a grandpa/family sedan look.

Will do. I wanted to redrill and thought the concave shape would clear the brakes, but measured it out, and it would be 7mm too small. I would pretty much still need a 10mm spacer to do so. I'd rather do fender work to fit bigger wheels down the road, than spend the same amount of money to redrill, get extended bolts, ect.

This is how the front sits with a pull. When I find some time, I'll try to pull it more, and then this fitment will be $$$.
