so on these black fits, did you fellas need to roll fenders or cut that little tab thingy? I installed my 15x7+10 rims, and they rubbing like crazy on the rears.

there are little tabs that attach to the inner fender. you just have to roll them back when ur fenders get rolled

would it be safe to dremel off that little lip instead of rolling fenders? (referring to the rear)

does the rear camber kit adjust? if so how far can it go?

I actually tried to ghetto roll it by using a bat. unfortunately it still rubs. I think it's on that tab where the fender meets the bumper. =[ I thought maybe I could just get away with maybe a slight adjustment on the camber. you think it may work?

btw, thank you fellas for helping this grl out.

cutting that tab off on the back where the bumper meets the fender is where most fits rub since theres a ton of space everywhere else except the back.. dremel off that chunk of plastic and the little plastic lip (not the metal lip on the fender.) and then ziptie the bumper to the fender where u dremel'd ill try and take some pics of mine tomorrow when the sun is out

where'd you pick up your bolts from?
can it adjust a lot? or give minor negative camber?
was it easy to throw on?

on the front bolts it depends on witch ones you get cause some are 2 degrees + or - and theres others that do 4 degrees + or - and those are easy to install and for the rear you can do as much camber as you would like but with the m camber you might need to get longer bolts..
