Sounds like something is loose under there. Remove the entire assembly and check everything

Fitment for the rear yes, trying to decide whether or not I should stick a 245 tire up front. Going to add spacers as well. Yes I know I should go hella flush but I'm trying to keep it clean.

I would have to agree on dennis with that one, it might me the top hat not being seated right but you would have to take apart before any final conclusions.

Dennis, those some mighty fine wheels you got there sir. Muy bueno!

Wheels are wide, just that they have high offsets. I have 20mm spacers on the way for the front and I dont like the way the tires look so I'm going to change them. I wish the front lip was bigger The rear sits flush so I'm probably not going to mess with it. I plan to reduce the amount of camber back there so it will be even more flush then. Not trying to be hellaflush at all

Edit: check out the rear fitment here

Taking pics and working by yourself takes soo much longer than if i were to just straight up work to get it out >.> Took me about an hour or so when it can be done in like 15 mins LOL figured i might as well do a detailed writeup with HQ pics since I couldnt find one

hey tldude quick question. What kind of fender work did you have to do to make your suspension/wheel set up work? I'm assuming you're dropped almost three inches which is what i'm looking to do. I'm just curious as to how much work the fenders are gonna take so it doesnt rub and kill my tires.

^ Just a roll/slight pull. The guy that did mine used a piece of wood to do mine. Majority of the people I know use the eastwood fender roller.
