Default Test fit: 19x10 -7 AME Shallen LX

Here's current progress on my fender pulling trying to fit these beasts.

19x10 -7 AME Shallen LX 235/35/19 Falken FK452

I got two friends to sit on the rear for the pictures
I'm hoping that it'll tuck it completely with just camber from this point on. Let me know what you think. This is my first experience using my MAX fender roller.

still need a decent bit more of a pull, unless you run super stiff on ur next susp setup (which i wont reveal here ) it WILL hit on bumps.

man if you can get those to work it will truly be sick. you need a lot more pull for sure and max the camber. the camber doens't do too much though, the adjustment is pretty small. you'd really have to get it low as well.

I am going to end up getting different tires for the rear.

Should I go with 225/35/19 Falken ST-115's or 225/35/19 Federal SS595's?

I'm kinda leaning towards ST-115's since they run narrower.

Very tight setup - the tire is still touching the fender - definitley looks like some pulling is in order - looks great though

I actually remembered I have 225/35/19 General Exclaim UHP's on my 19x9 SSR's back home. So I'm considering putting them on the rears. I'm gonna try pulling more. I finished the driver side fender today (minus pulling even more), and got it a bit further than the passenger side and even cleaner.

One of the guys on VSC actually suggested to try pulling even further so I'm gonna go at it on Saturday and try to pull it even more. I am confident I can pull it more so we'll see what happens. I'll likely get to finish it on Saturday.

first off, falken ST115s dont stretch well at all iirc, id go with the federals or like i did, Generals

and regardless you STILL need to either pull a bit more or camber the hell out of it. almost there!
