You will need a slight pull and shaved fenders

thanks racingstyle,

what about if I add more camber? I have a natural -3 right now, u think maybe another -1 totaling -4 will help? I don't want to pull.

usually the calculators go : for every 1 degree of camber, you get 5mm of clearance. Ill have to double check and see exactly how much that pokes to see how much camber you would need to run so that you wouldnt have to pull the fenders. ill get back with ya soon

I believe it's 15mm more poke.

I really want to do this but at the same time I don't want any poke.

I was looking at a friends car and his 20x10 +23 fits flush with a nice drop. Taking that into consideration a 10.5 +27 would be 15-16mm poke. Mathmatically another degree of camber should make them fit flush, but you would have to test fit to be absolutly sure. Disk height will play a big role in this fitment.

10.5" +29 should be the same as a 10" +23 on the outside (lip). the difference should be about 12mm less clearance on the inside of the wheel near the shock according to my calculations. So we're talking about a 2mm difference with the 10"+27. It will be 10mm less clearance and stick out 2mm out further than a 10"+23. These are just calculations though.
