Rolled fenders I'm assuming.

running no spacers.

And for the camber, the rears are untouched but for the fronts i just adjusted it with what i could from the coilover. loosened two bolts and leaned it inward then re tightened

i've only rolled the rears but its not rolled flat just pushed away from the tires.. still rubs. no rubbing in the front what so ever. if it does rub its the weather guards or w/e. may hit fender here and there on pretty decent sized bumpers but nothing major.

Thank You. I've been trying to figure out how a x8 +25 would fit especially in the front.

how many degrees of camber would you say you have?? -1.5ish maybe -2
