[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16413138, member: 9628"] That fender lip rolling looks Great! Nice video. I have 20X12's with no rolled lip, no spacers and no bumpstop bracket removal. I found that the only time that the bumpstop would be any sort of an issue was when I put the car on a 2-post lift, which is rare, other than that I have had no contact at all with my 12's and the bumpstop, in 6-8 years with the 12's on my car. Since I do not have modified fender lips, I first tried 335/30's and they bulged just a little bit more past the fender than I wanted, so I backed off to 325/30's and have had no issues at all. I had to remove my Eibach shock boots, but other than that, no other mods to my car. When I do use a 2-post lift, I simply roll a floor jack under the 8.8 before the suspension is extended, remove the rear tires/wheels and then let the lift pick the car up and the suspension extend. when the car comes back down, the 8.8 will set down on the floor jack saddle, I bolt the wheels back on, the tires go back on the ground, and I slide the floor jack out. I have done it a couple of time, it is no big deal. The only time I found that the bumpstop removal is mandatory, is if encounters driving that drops the tire/wheel assembly out of the fender well as shown below, I have never had my car drop out like that, even when I turn into my 45 degree uphill driveway when one tire tucks in and the opposite side drops out, still no bumpstop contact. Shown below, the rear body is supported by a jack stand (a small amount of Orange is shown ahead of the rear tire, that is the stand supporting the body), and the 12" Alcoa is resting on the bumpstop bracket. I have never been in a driving situation that drops my tire/wheel out like that. [ATTACH=full]1638703[/ATTACH] R [/QUOTE]
