I cut my rear quarters off to stretch the metal to get 9.5s with a +41 to fit without having to run -10 deg camber and 205s

Dam dude that's extreme. I ran 9.5 +35 with a roll and some inner quarter panel cut metal. I am now running 10.5 +20 after shaving a whole bunch of metal on the inner quarter fender well, then getting an extreme extreme EXTREME ROLL/FLARE/PULL, which resulted in wavy bacon quarter panels, which I believe was due to having the flare done on VERY THIN METAL from me shaving it; consequently, it went to the shop for body work after it was all said and done.

However, I'm curious to see someone do this without warping quarter panels, and just getting an extreme flare on stock strong reinforced metal, without it priorly being weakened/thinned on the inside the way I did of course.

I have NO idea how some fit those wide and low of offsets. LIke i said, i have a 9.5 with a +41 and they stuck out of the fender about an inch. WIth skinny tires and lots of neg camber i could probably have gotten the rears to clear. Fronts NO WAY. Those things stuck out over an inch.

Also i did what i did because i am running 275/35/18s on all 4 corners.

Yeah you would think its extremely difficult to pull off, but its really not. I'm running this offset and width with a fender roll, a little bit of camber, and zip ties instead of screws to hold bumper to fender. However, I did have to Dremel some of that plastic piece where the bumper lines up to the fender and also a bit of metal.

I'll get some pics up later.

Oh and stretched tires of course.

The rear is a different story, but I have to run right now. Talk later

P.S I see what you're talking about with all that poke in your front. With that being said, I am slammed slammed SLAMMED so I am also able to pull this off from natural negative camber.

I couldnt get the rim to pass the fender without hitting it (no shock on lifting with jack) , i dont think -10 deg would have gotten the front rim to pass the fender (which had a slight pull as it was). Now i can get the control arm to hit the frame without the tire hitting anything

Hmmm yeah the good old upper control arms issue. Well, not very conventional to do this, but I had to do what I had to do to slam

Upper control arm can pass through now, and I can slam

Well, I was going to post some pics, but my car has a bunch of swirl marks in the pics I currently have I will try to get some up ASAP when I get my car back out of the shop soon.

I dont need my car to go that low, but if i did i would do what you did BUT i would weld and box in the hole to put the strength back in the shock tower, and to keep stuff out of the engine bay. I need it higher for handling purposes so that there is suspension travel.

I hear you; needless to say, I'm all show and no go. Right, I am looking into that box for safety issues as I've been told its very dangerous to ride around like this. Moreover, the car has lost some structural integrity by me doing this.

Anyhow, I was able to find a clean shot of my car. Enjoy
