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 |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The obvious would be to see if there is a lip you can roll to gain some more room. 335 is a lot of tire for an 8" rim. I'd like to see some pictures of that.
