sick MIG reminds me when i first put on the Varianzas. keep doing what you doing!
VGT - i run a 215/35/19 on a 9.5 and a 245/35/19 on a 11 all day everyday 50 miles round trip to work 5 days a week, 80 miles round trip to school 2 times a week, i used to have beat fenders, i took a sledge hammer to my fenders at one time, been running stretched tires for 50k miles only problems i ever run into is tire wear isn't too hot because of the camber wear, other than that no problems at all. Decafe runs stretch tires on the norm too
we've all heard every story in the book why stretch tires are bad bla bla bla bla, nobody cares anymore its pretty norm nowdays, we do what we do to personalize our cars, we don't need the same edumacation (yes i spelled that wrong i purpose) that Kennedy bestowed us back in the day.

^ I remember when I see your pics on your threads I would be like "OMFG! SICK", feels good to have the same dudes comment on mine! lol..
just need some help on making them fit without rubbing, i even have issues sometimes of lip hitting fender. Should I just camber with alignment first or do the body work then camber and alignment?

I was thinking maybe widening the fenders a tad bit for more clearance and maybe when I do camber and alignment I wouldnt have to do so much camber and maybe save some cash on bread for tires.
LMK what you think, you guys have more experience at this than me.
I want to get everything ready before the V2 Labs show in Miami March 27, Im ganna have to start selling shit lol.

set your camber to what you want, not to what it takes to fit the wheels under stock fenders. if you want to only run 3 camber, set your camber to three then build the fenders around that.

Lol, thats one of my buddies, Im the dude with the black shirt..
No rubbing issues, only my right rear fender cuz its fucked up man..
Sometimes my lip hits the fender!
Hopefully everything will be 100% complete by next friday.
It hate that the 19s make my car look so damn high even though I have no wheel gap, I would have to get crazy camber to make the car itself look low, fawk.

Help me out guys
Since I hate the racked look someone told me to cut about half an inch to an inch off my rear fenders so I can lower my car more and it will take away the racked stance.. I can tell the dude working the body of the car to do this..
What do you guys think?!
I can go lower and the actual full car will look lower.

your opinion will be greatly valued with your experience in the game vipTL. LMK
(my local stance buddies tell me not to do it but i think its cause no one by my hood has done it lol, so they dont know what to expect)

Work is almost done, I drove the car for 2 days before it was painted and all since my buddy wanted to know if it was rubbing/riding with no problems..
Drop it off tonight to be finished.. I might also do the headlights while in programs black out/etc..
He told me to slam the car as much as I wanted and then he would base the fenders around there, here is how i dropped it off:
I need to lower the front more when I get it back!
LMK what you guys think.
