BFH MOD and "lowering questions"
BFH MOD and "lowering questions" I have Sportline springs and im getting some 17x11 with 315 in the back.Nittos. Im going to need to BFH my fenders . a few questions.
1) Will 315s even fit with sportlines?
2) I hear people talking about "centering" your car when you lower it? what does this mean is there a guide?
3) will i have to roll my fenders? If so how do i?
4) is 50 mm offset ok?

Adjustable panhard bar.
Yes, 50mm for 17x11
It's recommended, strongly. I'm lowered on a prokit and don't have an APB. It usually won't rub but if i take a corner kind of hard it will. It's definitely on my list of to-do's. It's will not "detroy the car" though, just rub a little while cornering.

The 315's will fit with those springs. Go Get an adj. PHB and center the rear. You will need to find a reference point on both sides that will be the same. I used the center of the tread and the lower corner of the quarter panel.
About rolling the fenders, i have heard on multiple occasions that rolling them will leave them weakened and prone to buckling or dimpling. I cut a 12"x1" strip from the in ner lip. Worked like a charm. All u need is a cutoff wheel and a lil patients.
Oh and might wanna get some spray can under body coating too. Want to prevent rust on the spots you will expose when hammering out the inner fender. Also shave the bump stop. No the bottom, but the side facing the wheel. If you don't the wheel will get stuck on the lip of the bump stop when you lift the car.
Anything else?
Oh and 50mm is the right size.
