Default Credit card fitment? Fitment gurus, come through!

I don't know if that's what people call it but I wonder if I would need to shave my fenders in order to get as close to the fender as these guys. I havent seen this static fitment on any IS250/350 yet if I remember correctly. Anyone have any ideas? These two guys are from SoCal and I'm sure many of you guys recognize the car. Always been into this kinda safer yet tricky fitment.

Are all those cars static? I don't think you can get the front to camber like that. My rears were like that on the black one (I had 20's though). Trial and error buddy. If you want the most room then shave. I just rolled but didn't have that crazy front. The only think is that shaving sometimes leaves jagged edges and needs to be touched up or resprayed. Good luck.

Yes, you can definitely get the front to camber like that. Megan and godspeed both sell UCA that act as camber adjustment, I had -7 with my Megans and now I'm going to run custom godspeed arms. And yes OP it's about ET and trial and error. Get the camber to where you want, then put the wheel on and see if you need a spacer etc etc. Trial and error.

Yeah, these are all static! That kinda fitment is super tight so I would also wonder if I need tons of stretch as well but thanks! Ya I'll try and figure this out.
