vlad... do u mean 4 inches on each side or 4 inches total? I know how much it takes to fit, my wheels poke about an inch or so on stock fenders, but how far negative are you if you don't mind me asking.

I know that I maxed out the the ability of the fender roller. It had to go to the shop in order to pull more and it took a lot of work. Here is a few pics of me test fitting the wheels and bear in mind that the quarters have already been pulled by about 30mm in these pics. Also my camber is maxed out so that is the only reason as to how I am clearing.




Here is a pic of the front with high single digit offset

nice fitment. did you shave it and then pull it?
did shaving it and rolling the rest of the lip hard?
im getting ideas on what path to take.
i heard that shaving it and than roll/pulling will make it look bad

If you dont shave it and attempt to roll it you are adding another layer to the rear quarters and run a high risk of dimpling the quarter since the when you remove the metal trim on the lip it leaves holes which do not give you a level surface to roll. The way that I initially did it was that I rolled it flat, it was a mistake it put an extra 3mm of metal on the inside of the quarter. The proper way to do it is to cut the rear lip but be careful not to hit the seams and than roll the rest of it flat. That will give you a level surface in order to apply equal pressure and prevent you from dimpling the quarter.
