Thanks @OptionZero. I still think you can work on your passive aggressive behavior, but thanks lol It's kind of weird that you think I'm purposefully hiding info - I literally added all the specs and pics from that other thread. I try to contribute to this forum as much as I can, but I'm sorry for being such a baby...
I personally like the fender trim, but I get what you're saying which is why I'm thinking of trimming the inner portion. I'm trying to avoid rolling, because it may require body work, but it's still an option. All that being said, I believe I would still need spacers, though, right? I'm thinking 20mm instead of the 25mm I have on right now. |

They should be rolled from the factory
We cant tell you what size spacers will work. You are the only one who can measure

Agree with OZ that you should ditch the Nismo fender flares. They make it difficult to achieve a flush look without rubbing.Change your spacer to a 10mm. You probably won't get into camber spec without camber arms.

I still need to install the rear cambers arms and toe bolts (delivered on Fri!), but I was able to use a cut off tool (worked perfectly) to trim off the inner portion of the fender trim. This is a great option for those who like the styling and want to keep it. They really do take up so much space in the wheel well, so if you want any type of proper fitment you will definitely need to either completely remove them or do what I just did and trim them off. I was amazed to see how much more space my tires/wheels have now. I also removed the 25mm spacers...honestly not sure what I was thinking. Lesson learned for sure. Let me know if anyone needs 25mm spacers. I installed 20mm spacers and really dig it. I still haven't test driven the car to make sure it doesn't rub anymore. I did, however, put the car on jack stands, and used the jack to see if it would make contact with any part of the fender under compression. It can get close, but it clears. Again, definitely need to test drive to be certain. I think I will test fit some 15mm spacers while I'm at it, but definitely don't want to go lower than that. I'm just glad and thankful to everyone who gave me advice on finding a solution for this issue. I'll report back again once I get time to install the camber arms and toe bolts AND finally get an alignment. Kind of want to get some FUCAs now too...

Buy the FUCA before the alignment
Why pay for two alignments?
