before and after pic, or it didn't happen

sorry dozer, but your side flares create to much of a shadow to see any kind of wheel gap, do you have some good Before and after pictures?

Nothing is wrong, I ran teins on stock springs forever and through many autox and spirited driving events with no issues. Unless your a track addict it won't make a difference and the stockers will fail eventually but then you can get some Bilstien HD's and call it a day.
