With the spacers its no longer a problem. Which reminds me i need to go lower my car a bit.
I know that... Camber allows for outer fender clearance. Add spacer for inner clearance then outer clearance to the fender becomes an issue... Add camber to deal with that. Hankook RS3's are far narrower than G-Force Rivals. As I stated above, the wheel couldn't even get on the hub with a 5mm spacer... My picture above shows inner clearance with a 10mm spacer (et15)... 2mm max. Then I added camber... Got to -3 and they still didn't fit on the OUTSIDE. I'm wanting to get away from Hankooks because they don't make a 295/35/18 tire which is my preference for the rear.
