wheel fitment help: do i need a pull? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

wheels are p45r 18x9.5 +15 after 5 mil spacer
tires are 245/40/18 all around

alright, so ive pounded the shit out of my wheel wells, rolled the fender lip flat, and bought 5 mil spacers because my rim was rubbing my spring ever so slightly. everything has been solved with the exception of fender rubbing during moderate/extreme turns. im very hesitant to actually pull my fenders, so my question is this: would it even help in my case? or should i just look to get lower profile tires and possibly run more camber? i am trying to avoid actually raising my car, becuase i rather enjoy how it looks now. pics below:

all pictures are of the front wheels

could get over fenders?

Newspaper that shit, or run 235/40/18, or live with it. It's really not that bad from what I can see in the pic.

245/40/18 is possibly the worst size, ever, to put on the front of an S-chassis.

Get rid of it, if you care about not rubbing.

go 235/40 or 225/40.
should do the trick.
add more camber if necessary.
