Default Pulling/ rolling arches



Hi there all, quick question, has anyone ever pulled their front arches to the extent I might have to to fit these wheels, if so pics would be a wicked as well as any advice, really like these wheels and really hope I can get them to fit, currently at about -6 degrees camber on the front which has brought them in slightly, does anyone think it’s doable or over fenders is the best bet

Honestly the answer to that question depends on the amount of poke you will be happy with

There isn't enough material to cover the amount of poke you currently have. Ulterior Motives makes fender flares for the GS that are a subtle alternative to big Serial Nine or N-Style fenders.

Have you looked at adjustable upper control arms? There are some that can alter the camber up to 6 degrees. The factory lower control arms can be adjusted a couple degrees and that should also help you out a little bit. That plus shaving the lip off the fender and then you can roll it and they will flare out a little bit. Do you not like how these rims fit? Or have you gotten a ticket or something? Your best option would probably be to sell this rims and replace them with a set that have less offset.if you do all this other work it can get expensive, and these rims will probably never tuck up tight into the fender as well as a set with the ideal width and offset.
