Anyone actually running 18x9.5 fronts with 6.5"+ BS?
Do you have your bump stops in place? Are they stock? What do your steering stops look like?
Not sure what to tell you, the 18x9’s and 275/35/18’s on the front of my Duster are like 3.9” from hub to outer rim lip, so they stick out further that what you’re testing with that. When I started with those rims and tires I had pretty stock fenders except for thr lower front corner of the wheel opening. As I’ve lowered the car further I did run out of room and rolled the fender lips and added some “push” on thr fenders with the roller when I did that. But my car sits pretty low now. And it was well below factory ride height even when I started.
Honestly with the tires straight ahead it looks like you’ve got more room than I do. I run less negative camber at -1.5*, so that should actually hurt my clearance. But I run more caster, +6.75*, so I get more camber as the wheels turn.
These are older pictures, before I lowered further and rolled the fenders.
