Default VIPNiSS Need your help, or anyone else tucking aggressive wheels

I'm hoping someone has a couple of tips for me.

I am putting on 20 x 10.5 with 6 offset on the rear of my GS3.

I want to ride static. The body shop is saying there is no way a pull will clear the lip, i have Megan camber arm on the car already.

The say even if we clear the lip the bumper hanger gets in the way.

I know VIPNiSS tucked 11's hard, any tips for me??

Thank you in advance.

Yup, thought so! Way too aggressive for any roll in my opinion! You may want to install coil overs and run a very stiff setting!

pretty aggressive, must be nice, but a troublesome to get it done. i wanted to see this too after your done. lol

anyways. whats your max on your camber kit? it should be -4 right? even so, if its higher than that i heard you can do something about the toe bolt or some bolt that can go beyond its limits to maybe -8. i can be wrong but check around.

the way i was able to free up a little more space was to extend the roller arm all the way up into the fender and roll hard from the topmost point you can reach, down to the fender bead. this may free up the room you need....

You should definitely be able to do a 20mm pull like is needed as a matter of fact that should be the furthest you would go a 18 or 19 may work because the more you come out the closer you will get to the travel line of the suspension. Anyway the fender will pull you just may damage the paint. I was quoted from my body shop 3-5k to pull and paint all four corners and 10k to do whatever custom work I wanted and paint the whole car not exactly a deal but tempting nonetheless

There only charging me $500 a fender with the repaint. They're a very good body shop specializing only in high end cars. They have done all my car for years and years now.

Paint has already cracked a little so wtv...

I don't mind the paint because I know it'll come out just like stock and either way you'll be able to spot the pull.

Thank for the tips so far.

Here's a couple more pictures, the front pulled out like butter!

The shop is just being conservative because they don't want to screw up the car.

I have 20x11 +6 in the rear. I am tucking my wheel but definately cant ride with it tucked. Currently when i air it down all the way the corner piece of my rear bumper is folding in against the tire. However if you have the right shop then they can definately roll and pull to make your wheels tuck.

i think they can certainly get you where you want to be, judging from that last pic. however, where you will notice issues is very obvious on the last pic also. where the fender and the bumper meet is a tough area to get pulled. you can do it, but you have to work very carefully. i just shoved a wrench in there and pulled till it matched the rest. not the smartest idea....

Sticky, the front looks perfect! I don't know if you have touched the rear, but it looks like it could use a bit more pulling.

There are a few threads on CL talking about the rear bumper hanger you are talking of. Many have to carefully cut/grind around that bracket to make it work with fender shaving..

Here is one I found real quick. Hope it helps.
