I went with 1 finger gap all around. It settles a bit after a week to just sitting right on top of the tire. Its as low as I am willing to go. my nose is centimeters away from scraping asphalt on even moderate rolled curbs at the end of driveways.

tire is just sitting right above the fender. i think this might be tooooo low. lol when i turn the wheel too much it starts to rub on the fender i dont think that can be fixed from fender rolling or can it? also as it sits now the fenders arent rolled but if i were to get an alignment i would need to roll right? since the wheels will straighten out?

I'm usually not a fan of the "slammed" look, but with those rims, it looks pretty darn nice.

I will for sure ..thx
thanks
yea fronts are rubbing when I turn the wheel to a certain point. I don't think I can complete a sharp u turn. So the fronts can't be rolled any further than what they are at? How about if I were to raise it half inch or finger gap u think it will still rub?
thanks
Props Bro! That's a nice set up. I assume the the rubbing of the fenders is in the front and not the rear? If that's the case, rolling the fender will not work since the fronts are already rolled. You can either have the wheels machined down a few millimeters or install the adjustable ball joints and add a couple degrees of negative camber. Hope it all works out! Gotta love PWPs on baller rims

Raising will help if you don't expect your front suspension to travel much. The problem is not the ride height. It's a combination of the tires and wheel offset being a bit too aggressive.

damn thats what i wanted to avoid. i thought i pretty safe with +40 offset..... well now i tried to turn the wheel and it didnt rub and i was able to turn it all the way but it was parked. i might have to raise it a little once it settles. only reason is i dont want to eff up my fender. when you say "Raising will help if you don't expect your front suspension to travel much" do you mean travel distance it will move while im driving? the rubbing when i turn ive only tested when i was parked havent did a full turn while drive to see

^^^ I do....they are fucking awesome !!!
Condition: Find one which is newly opened....so they have a brand new alignement rack....this ones goes underground so driving on it is very simple....awesome for lowered/slammed cars....If they have the old rack where you have to drive up, it gonna take them an hour just to get on and off the ramp and they gonna scrape all under ur car....
I have their lifetime alignment for $160....i took the girl at the counter out for dinner and found a 50% discount coupon hidden in her clothes
....didnt really save me money coz the dinner was more expensive than the 50% coupon 
I get my car aligned and my tires rotated/balanced every 5K miles when I do my oil change.....

The front is really close to the top fender already. The back could but I'm not going to just yet. Going to get the back rolled tomorrow the front looks factory rolled not sure if it can roll any further

dont go to them to get them rolled. they didnt do the greatest job. i am going to go to sanford to a shop called samules to just have them trim or cut my rear fender.i dont wnat to drive to kissismme and deal with them about it. speedzone for some reason when they did it (noticed this later on) that my paint in the inner part was chipped or cracked on both rears. i guess thats why it was cheap. Also when terry from samules looked at my quarter panels notice that they werent normal kinda bent or dented a little. But just a heads up i wouldnt recommend you go to them to get it rolled.you might wnat to check these guys out in sanford.

Hope you find a good fix and thanks for the heads up.Also, just as an FYI, do some research (if you have not already) on trimming/cutting the fenders. I remember seeing some info about rusting issues that may occur with that method.
eh. now I'm spooked about fitting my 9.5s.

Hmm. makes sense that as long as they paint and clear the areas that they cut, you should remain rust free.

you dont cut fenders on acuras and hondas. if you feel your quarter panels they have pinch welds in them. (feels like ingraved spots) you cut them and your panels are going to split. you can do that for vws and im pretty sure that the shop your planning to go to is a euro shop.
lol tommy please dont do anything stupid on your car. one of michaels friends 1st gen tsx did the same thing and you can see through it rofl.
i work in a body shop as a painter and i know what i am talking about not blowing smoke up your ass.
