Hey everyone! My 914 gt project came to a screeching halt when I tried to put on the rear wheels. The fender rubs right at the top of the tire, a problem that I didn't think was going to happen with the size of wheel I chose. They are 15x8 fuchs with 235/30 toyo proxes tires.

Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've been advised to add negative camber and roll fenders, but I want to check with the community as well. Will add photos below

Your tire size it way to big. I run 245/45 on 9''x16'' and that all I can fit with fiberglass. Metal fender will need even smaller tires to not rub.
