Finally Got My Work Wheels On!!!!!!
Nothing wrong with pull, I just don't think I can do that myself...........however, the rolling eliminated most of the rubbing i think
I have an idea to check tho.............I am gonna put some masking tape on the inside edge of the fender on all 4, and drive around, and check to see where the tape is worn away..........
This will show me where, and how bad I am rubbing.........it's only when I hit bumps hard or corner realllllly hard
SInce the fenders are rolled, the rubbing that takes place is just the flat top edge of the sidewall rubbing against the inside flattened edge of the rolled fender...
If it's minor, I may just ignore it...........any suggestions?

Wheels look good mate. They fill the arches well. As the other lads have said, a bit lower and they'd look even better, but hey, when funds allow, yehh???
I cant talk though, my 200sx is still running standard springs and dampers/shocks. Looking for coilovers myself.

Thanks for the compliments...........I have maxed out lowering the front (I have TEIN SS, can only go ~2.7 in front)
Rear could go lower, but then it just looks goofy when the back is lower than the front........
I will post new pictures soon.......those are from the first day I put the wheels on
SInce then, I have made some adjustments.........all 4 corners actually sit within 1/16 inch of each other, at 24 5/8 inch from ground to apex of fender
Finally, I feel that if I went too much lower, I would have more frequent rubbing.........right now, I sometimes rub the outside top edge of my tires against the rolled inside edge of the fender.....if I go lower this will happen more frequently...

Everyone says use a baseball bat.....it is NOT worth it.....find someone with a fender roller....it makes it soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy.
It just locks onto your hub with lug nuts, and then you can change the angle of the arm, and the actual roller that flatterns the fender (each individually).
I was lucky and a friend had one........baseball bat= you can't get it pinned back as tight, prolly gonna crack paint really bad
