Did you have to do any mods to the plastic fender lining to get the rear to sit any lower

no,,I did not have to remove or cut the plastic fender in the rear
although I will need to do so in the front since those plastics are sitting on my tires

You didn't need to do anything to the fender liner for the car to go all the way down? You cut the fender though right?

you can push the plastic, but it might give you little/better clearance if you just cut it

Running a 275 is fine. You should turn the coils down some more.

So you think if I just go with lets say a 255/35 and turn down the coils then I should be sitting pretty...

It's not your tires IMO. It's how much you adjusted the coils. PM djkhanvict and ask him how low he set his
