Not too sure how wide you plan on going, but the rears will need a roll before the fronts will, even with stock wagon fenders

You can check with either R&D or Munky Wurks. What size wheels and tires are you running?

If the fronts actually stick out that much, you must be running a pretty low offset....+35 or less. As for alignment, do you know what your alignment specs are? Are you running coilovers or springs/struts? The reason I ask, with a wheel that size, you can probably get rid of any rubbing issues by adding in negative camber and rolling your fenders. My friend Julian (Sleepy Wagon.) in Cali ran an 18x9, +35 with 235/40's on stock wagon fenders, and his car is DUMPED. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1772719. It's possible, just roll your fenders and slam those camber plates in! When I had my wagon, I did a sedan fender conversion, but...........I was running 18x10's with 255/35's. My coilover camber plates were maxed front and rear, and my camber bolts were maxed front and rear. I was such a fool....haha, but it looked cool:


(haha, shameless walk down memory lane!)

Also, there's a wagon on the lower 48 who tracks it with 285's, with stock fenders. I'm curious to this setup. I'll be going with 245's as soon as they get back in stock.

The car is SICK... yah im only running drop springs and kyb struts and the camber i think is like only -.3 so its almost straight but i really like the wide front look and i eventually wanted to go with wider rims to so i guess im just preparing for the future. thanks fort all the input =) i also want to go with coilovers later when i start work again any suggestions

Thanks for the compliments. As for coilover suggestions, I'd recommend Stance's. I had the GR+ Pro's on my wagon and loved them. Lot's of features for the $$$ and I loved the ride feel. Mine came with inverted struts, camber plates front and rear, helper springs, separate ride/height adjustability etc...
