my enkei rp01's rub in the rear with my 275/35/18 tires. i removed the plastic trim and it reduced the rubbing but my tires still rub. i took it to a body shop and they said they can either cut about a half inch off the inner fender for 100bux or if that doesn work then they'd have to roll in the fenders for about 700. do you think just having the inner fender cut will do the job? what is the widest tire that can be ran in the rear without any rubbing? thanks

Inital rolling will give some clearance, but trimming will give more clearance. Just make sure they can do a clean cut, and if you are in snow country, be sure they paint the exposed lip to prevent corrosion.
This is very normal when doing the more extreme wheel fitments. $100 is a reasonable price as long as they do a good job.
