LCA's won't net you any clearance up top, I maxed mine out at around -14/15 just to see if i would gain any clearance and I didnt. Buy they megan traction arms, that will prevent you from rubbing where you are, because it will center up your wheel in your arch again.

great looking wheels!

Thanks for the tip I'll look into the traction rods. I noticed that the wheel was not centered in the wheel well in STOCK form, now with the lowering and bigger wheels, it's even worse!

Why wouldnt the LCAs get me clearance up top though? By lengthening the LCA a bit, the bottom of the wheel will come out, forcing the top of the wheel to come in. This will increase the gap between the top of the wheel and the quarter panel. The way the geometry works does not allow for any other scenario. I suspect your setup is much more aggressive than mine? more poke? my rears are a low 20's offset.

Right now I can clear the tires under suspension compression. But it's the rim itself I'm worried about. 2 people in the back and a dip on the freeway a nd Im sure my rim would kiss the quarter panel. With the additional 1-2degree of camber my rim should slide right up insde the quarter panel without touching.....

very minor poke

Ride looks great man! Just to clarify you just went at the rear 1/4 with a roller? No cutting first? Reason I ask is because some people on here say the rear will split and I am looking to roll my fenders and 1/4's but the guy I trust only rolls he does not cut.

The car looks great but i have 2 questions. What are your offsets and how much lower can you get on those coilovers???

Looks hot, can't wait to see it after more mods.

sorry for the late reply, havent checked in on the thread in a while

I did not cut/shave the lip in the 1/4 panel. I used the roller tool only. Be VERY careful at the square cutouts in the lip. The stresses caused by bending the lip go round the cutouts and end up going into the quarter panel itself, you will end up with two dimples in the 1/4 right where the cutouts are if you arent careful. I saw it happening as I was rolling, and was able to catch it in time.

You can cut/shave it. That will garuntee no dimples in your 1/4 and more clearance than if you had just rolled. BUT the welds holding the 1/4 to the wheel well will be gone, and you may end up with something worse than a few dimples down the road

Fronts can go another 1.5" lower. I would rub for sure when i turn if I put it that low though.

Rears can go a little over 2" lower. Tucking all tire and tiny bit of rim.

offsets mid 20s in rear and high teens in the front

I did a ton of research before I cut mine...I couldn't find one bad story of cutting the quarters and having them separate. Worst case was a tiny bit of rust if left unpainted and in winter/wet climates.

I have rolled many many cars, and now after shaving only one set of quarters, I will always shave if possible. Not only was it easier, it gave me more clearance and has a perfect finish on it....no unwanted pull/bends/crimps etc you can get on some cars that have very weak fender spots

But I am glad the roll worked out for you! The fitment looks great

I shaved the fenders on my gs. They were fine when i put the car on a transporter in socal. Received the car in Louisiana and noticed a very small buckle in the rear driver's side fender. It separated and no shops around me wanted to touch it. I ended up repairing it myself by splitting the fender completely and re-glued it with 3m sealer sealer. It is similar to what toyota uses from the factory to glue the panels together. The other side hasn't split. Anyway, hopefully no more problems, it's only been a week since I fixed it. At least it's made it through a hurricane so far.
