hey matt!!!
i had the same problem....you should have 3 positions on your rear shocks..you might have to raise it to the highest position(it is a ring deal that determines the posotion)....and i have shaved the fenders all the way...there is one spot that rubs, today i will find out where it is..you should take care of it soon, i trashed a pair of dunlap sp8000 like that..it was an expensive lesson to learn..i am also running the 215x40x17's...now on toyo t1 plus tires...they are much better than the dunlaps...where the dunlaps gave away...the toyos are still sticking...my ofset is the same as yours....i could give you better detail but it is hard over email..you can call me @ 310-671-6962.....yea..its long distance..
lates matt...
