Getting steering knucks installed shortly. Is it a must to run front overs or can I run them with stock fenders.

Right now I run a 17x8 +0 in the front and rub slightly on the inside fenderwall near the framerail on the drivers side.

Going to need a bit of information on your car/tyre setup really..
If you are already rubbing then your going to limit the amount of lock your going to have really, do you have any other modifications alongside of just doing the knuckle upgrade?

I know of many cars running bulk lock knuckles under stock guards, but you have to adjust your setup to suit it really.. Seems like your already going to have alot of inner guard clearence just by them rim specs but theres alot of other factors that play apart in it.

You could just install the knuckle then figure out what needs doing to allow you to completely use all of the lock haha, or have a read thru the Knuckles Thread HEAPS of info there! http://zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/296725-roll-center-suspension-pickup-steering-angle-modification-thread-104.html

If u rub right now Inner fender, u will rub inner fender post knuckles. Overs won't solve that. I dont even know your setup but it would seem like u need a spacer up front, more neg camber, and maybe a skinnier tire or shorter tire. Thi is all speculation though.

I run a 215/35/17 tire on the front. Front camber is set at -2.5 degrees, caster is at 7.5.

Front fenders are rolled and pulled, inner fenderwall bashed for clearance, brake brackets moved forward.

Right now I'm running tie rod spacers up front and it rubs a little.

Why dont you just install them and see what happens? Go from there.
