Front tire clearance issues
I have an 85 Targa and recently installed 16X7 Fuchs with 205/55 SO3 on the front. I will be lowering the car to OEM euro ride height which based on reading other postings on this site will put the fender lip about 25.5" from the ground measured through the center of the front wheel. I will have the car alligned with 1.5 degrees of negative camber. I'm trying to avoid having the fenders rolled but do not want to risk any damage from rubbing as the car is pristine. Does anyone have any feedback as to the feasability of this?

Manfred,
I would think that rolling the fenders would be a smart idea. On my 87 I run 7 x 16 up front with 205's and my car is lowered, with about he same degree of negative camber and I rolled my fender lips.
