      Could you roll the rear fenders?

      For my personal set-up, I have to ask...

      What size tires you run?
      What type of spacers did you go with? Bolt on? Extended bolts?

      The set-up looks great.
      Thanks
      Jason

      rolling the fenders would take a lil bit of work....i just have bolt on 25mm spacers with 16x7 Nexo's with a 40mm offset

      Here's a thought, get 20 mm spacers instead so your tires barely clear your fenders instead of hitting them.

      Well if in the situation of either buying smaller spacers for my aveo, or buying an rx8, I must admit I would pick the second. LOL.

      My questions with the 20mm spacers vs. 25 mm is whether the 20 mm spacers will have any issues mounting with my wheels.

      I don't have indents on the back of mine. where the lug nuts fit up.

      Heck would the 25mm units even work for me?

      i am not sure how he did his car, but i put 25 mm spacers on mine to see where the wheel will sit, and i think our stud are about 28 30mm. which mean you would need either longer studs, holes in the backs of the wheels, wider adapters, or the cut down the studs to be level with the adapter.

      the last options sounds bad, but its as "permanent" as going with longer studs. the difference is, when you are "done" with the need of the adapter, you can pay to stock studs back in, as opposed to pay to put longer studs on to run the wheels. It is really just about when you want to do the work.

      (please know what you are doing to cut them down though)
