True. Especially if you have narrow rims and tires. Maybe rolling the fenders a little will also give you some clearance? At least you could try to bend that little metal lip inwards a little. I started doing this with a roller pin. It works and looks better than stock IMO.

No. I actually un-dented them. They're smoother now. I'll post pics when I get a digital camera. Not too long now. Maybe a week or so. I'll take a bunch of pictures then of all my newest mods.

You can tuck the back in a lot more than the front. How does everybod car rides with their car so low? If you have Konis how are they set?

After a 2" drop all around my rear tires tuck bad. Im gonna have to roll my fenders to get the camber looking a little better. But, my front tires dont tuck at all. I would think turning with you front tires tucked then the wear on them would be much worse than normal. You could still turn but your tires wont last as long.
