Just took a peek at my car, I actually may space them just a hair more when the time comes. Right now I've got about 1/4" spacer up front and it doesn't mess with headlight fitment really. I imagine if you tried a 1/2" or 3/4" you'd start to see some misalignment with the headlight.

I've done the spacer in the rear of the fender. I liked that I kicked less crap onto the side of my car, but it definitely didn't seem to do much at the top of the tire, so I hear ya on that. I never thought about spacing out the front of the fender also. Do you have any pictures? I'm curious. And how did you fix the bolts on the top of the fender, along the hood line? Did the fender liners still fit?
So looks like rolling, some pulling, and possibly spacing the front and rear. I'm fine with all of that.

I appreciate all of the help, guys. I'm sure this has been discussed at length, but I've been having trouble finding consistent information.

Mine fits. 18x10.5 +38, 10mm spacer, 275/35r18 NT01, -3 front camber. Sits flush. Does not hit coilover. Will need a 6" spring though, it's right close to the spring/perch.

I'm in the same boat as Dallas with my flags, even with a 6" spring I can't get the lower perch above the tire. Er at least from what I remember last time I had my NT03 on, the lower perch sits too low. Glad to hear you made it fit that well.


I'll grab some pictures later when I'm home. It's a pretty simple setup. Top bolts aren't spaced at all. Hood gaps are unchanged from factory.

Thanks! So then it "pivots" up at the top of the fender and is moved out from the bottom, it sounds like? LOL. I can't believe I didn't think to do that

I think I may have a 6" spring already. If I remember right, last time I changed springs, I moved my rear spring forward and went stiffer in the rear. It would have been 6". I'll have to check that out.

I thought those wheels didn't need a spacer. Is it to clear the coilover?

That all depends on you shock setup, camber if you have it added at the top/bottom, or tire size. I have to use the wheel spacer to balance all my things fitting. If I wanted another .5 deg of camber, I would literally have to make a new spacer for it.

For coilover clearance

I also spaced the front of my fender as part of my quick connect bracket. Front bolt is spaced 3/16" and rear bolt is spaced 5/16" IIRC. By spacing the front one less it pulls the front of the fender back towards the headlight so there's no gap.

What wheel off-set are you using?

They only come in +30, which really surprises me that they fit in the rear without pulling the crap out of the fenders.

Higher offsets definitely fit better as long as you have enough clearance to shock and trailing arms. But its also easier to space out than pull in. But 275s are old news. Stock fenders and 295s are getting more common.

When you say stock fenders, you mean stock fenders with significant pulling and some spacing up front, right?

Yeah, theres no question about that. This setup is for the high level AX / Track guys who have seriously pulled & modified the rears

Dallas noted that 275's are old news & thats for sure, but i liken a 275 setup like this: 12lbs of fit into a 10lb bag. Whereas running 295's or greater is like: 14lbs of fit into a 10lb bag (something has to give / haha)

I have been grinding the rear lower control arms for 3 years. it seems the rear 295s are flexing more and more every year and leave the same amount of rubber marks
