Slammed evos... Help

My set up is.. RPF1 18x10.5 275/35. Camber is -3 front and -2.5 rear... Lowered on BC Coilovers. I cut out the top middle section of the fender liners still unable to go any lower guessing the tires are too wide. Any ideas that might help?

Here's an idea; stay at a functional height.

I had to, sorry.

^ +1. If it takes all this trouble just to get the tires to fit, your poor car is trying to tell you something...HELP! (Don't do it!) Use what works and is functional...

Just run a 215 tire and put more camber in the back.

Then do the hokey pokey and light the car on fire

LOL

Lesson learned today: trying to get something to do that it was never designed to do is hard.

Like GSRBOI said, run some rubber bands on them wheels and call it a day.

Lotsa people running this setup. Check out the Wheels/tires and Show & Shine section.
Pretty sure you're going to have to trim the rear mounting tab and roll more aggressively. Good luck.

If all else fails, raise the car up a little to limit contact or visit stance nation.
