Did some measuring today. The only way ANY spacer is fitting IN ADDITION TO a 10.5+30 wheel is with 305/35r22 tires (a +35 wheel will give you a little more room to play with spacer width). There is a metal backing plate on the rear side (by the door) of the font fender lining that my 305/40r22s almost touch and will prevent any trimming from being done. Any more offset and they WILL touch. so I and others like me are out of the game unless going to a smaller tire size. assuming 1" bigger diameter than stock, that 1/2" in additional radius gives you a little room to play with.
I would definitely be curious what that gap looks like on others with 305s on +30s. For those with stock 21", keep this in mind. the difference in "poke" is only about 1" between you and me, but i was able to run a 1.25" spacer on my 21" without touching the fender lining due to the smaller tire diameter. so a stock street pack 21" with 1.25" spacer can actually sit FURTHER outboard than my custom forged setup due to my tire size. which ALSO means, if I size down to 305/35r22s on my current wheels, I could throw in at least a 0.25" spacer to get some more poke. this ALSO means, that someone who hasn't built wheels yet, could possibly order 22x10.5+25s
if these overfenders can actually make the wheel well opening smaller so there is less gap between the tire and the body, then moving to 305/35s would actually be a good move without sacrificing looks. @Waido can you comment on if this kit reduces the overall opening size of the fender at all, reducing tire/body gap?
