They will rub up front for sure. You'll probably scrub on the rears too. :scared:

Then you need 9" rears and 8.5" fronts for the extra mean look. Plus a little extra camber for the shows :wink:

Rolling the arches wont be nearly enough to stop rubbing. There is hardly any lip to roll on the rear, and only a few mil on the front. You will need camber on the fronts and a touch on the back me thinks. That is if you lower the car.
