Default Style 95 Beamer Wheels

Hey guys. I just picked to style 95's today. I'm still debating if fender work will be need for my 2gen GS. Some GS owners say that no fender mod is needed and some say minor fender work is needed. Specs are 19x9/10 +24 all around. I don't know which road to go. Should I do fender work just to be safe from flaring my fender or should I just leave it the way it is? Any opinions would be nice. Thanks.

Unless your running rubberbands as tires you will need to molest your fenders. I can only go so low without rubbing a 19x8 +35 on a 245/40. If you plan on doing a drop you are going to have to do a roll with slight pull and run around a decent stretch 215-225 30 series tire on that 19x9. Kiss your ride quality goodbye with that skinny of a tire. The rears will be fine with just a roll or shave. Problem is a roll gives you dimples in your rear quarters and a shave gives your splitting panels unless you re-weld/sand and undercoat. Either way you will be putting in work to make these wheels fit.
