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 |

I really want to see those tires! BTW I had Toyo Proxies on my BMW M3. They are really soft. They lasted about 8000 miles. You will not want to run any camber with those tires or you will shorten the life even more. |
