i'm not doubting, but i do need to understand what you're saying...

the factory front wheel is an 8.0" x et42. if you were to install a 9.5" x et30 (essentially, with 5mm spacer) wheel, it would move the outer edge of the wheel out 31mm. is that not well past the fender line??? is this where the "some negative camber is required" comes in to play? how much camber is "some"? surely the factory suspension can't move in enough to compensate?

what am i not getting here?
