Rubbing the inner liner won't harm a thing. Ive been rubbing for over a year!

Ok cool, you guys are making me feel better about getting the SS springs with my new tires. These tires arent the cheapest in the world to replace and would just hate to tear them up before i even get one season out of them haha.

Thanks for the advice guys, i thiink im set on my new suspension setup

Yeah man i saw the gashes in your sidewalls. The gashes in your tires look big enough to fit a quarter in them, you definitely need to get either your fenders fixed or your rims fixed haha

And im trying to avoid your problem mike haha. I have driven a whole 60 feet since i put the new rims and tires on so idk how they ride now anyways

I'm running 335's on 18x11's and I just had to run a spacer(to keep from hitting the subframe bolt...thats for Crash), and I had to roll my fenders. The tires that came on the wheels I have now were 315/30-18 BFG DR's and my friend with H&R SS springs cut the sidewalls up real bad on them because he didnt roll the fenders.

I definitely recommend rolling the fenders and maybe some small spacers. The R888's run pretty wide from what I've seen on a couple cars. Just some food for thought. The D-specs should do well controlling the drop and the motion of the suspension. Just make sure to not loosen it all the way all the time to prevent excessive suspension articulation that doesn't need to be there.

for those of you guys that rolled your fenders, did you use the eastwood fender roller? Do you have any tips/secrets and do you remember which holes you had the nuts in? I spent a lot of time with mine this past weekend and couldnt exactly get it adjusted right
