I have my tires on my rims, I found the tires were too much "inside the car" so I got 15mm spacers... which were a little too large

now the tire rubs on the outside so I had to remove the spacers.

But it looked so good I might try to flare the fenders 2-3mm

Anyone run this setup? Was flaring the fenders enough or you had to put smaller spacers?

why not just get 12mm spacers

Although 3mm make a big difference, I know from my other car it gives it a more agressive look after putting 3mm spacers cuz BBK didnt fit.

just have a machine shop.. or a local wheel shop machine 3mm off? you could even mail them to a shop to have it done. or the place you bought them might be able to shave 3mm off.

thats if u feel rolling your fenders out is to much work

Im pretty sure speedybenz had a similar set up on his car.. 255's on 17" rims though. he had to cut out his front fenders and weld on new metal to widen his fenders if im not mistaken, so rolling and flaring the fenders wont be enough.
and I think he was running 15mm spacers up front with a 35 offset on the rims.. so esentially a 20 offset.

I see.. its the rear.. well Im running 235/35/19 tires on 19x8.5" rims with an et of 35 and 15mm spacers, so a 20 offset.
the tire is soooo close to the feder!.. your gonna have to mad flare out the fender to get clearance.. I bet you could flare them enough.
