Correct

If you didn't have the caliper clearance problem, would the extra 10mm be enough to tuck the wheel into the fender without any extra negative camber, or is the 255's section width on 8.5's just too much for the wheel well?
based on how much they poke with the spacer I'm inclined to say it would still poke a bit even without the spacer


Quote:
How much extra clearance between the tire and suspension do you have now? Would it be rubbing there as well without the spacer?
Didnt look at the tire/strut clearance without the spacer but its close with the spacer so it may contact without the spacer. I'll be taking the wheels off later this week so i'll explore the strut/tire clearance
