    I think it's a pretty well known fact that the rear axle on the 1st gens sits a little towards the rear of the wheel well. This can cause the tire to get stuffed into the upper rear side of the wheel well instead of going to the top during flex.

    Is there a kit or anyway to correct this? I've read that Deaver springs have their center pin holes a bit forward to correct this?

    i just got my 285's on today and it looks way more off center than it did with the 265's :mad:

    wayyy easier to notice now for some reason and it looks like it wont take much flex to hit the fender
