Yeah I know what you mean. 8" +0 isn't really enough to fill out flares. Really need a negative offset or an 8.5" rim to make use of flares. I reckon a decent roll and pull on the guards with the control arms should be enough.

This is the same size and offset, sits under the guards with pretty much what I said above. So it can be done

What flares have you got btw?

change profile to 195/50. Dont get camber arms.. they will break.
Stock adjustment is fine. I can 15 x 9+0 with stock guards (rolled) and adjustments.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
