Default Some pics from awhile back (before I had my fenders rolled)...

Just wanted to show you how tight my fitment was b4 I had the fenders rolled...IForged told me that iif I ran a 275 - that I shouldn't have any issues with rubbing. But I didn't listen got greedy and put 285's on anyways .....I encountered slight rubbing but nothing major. I had the fellas at Group 5 Motorsports look at my car to get an estimate of how much it would cost to have my fenders rolled. But they said that I didn't even have to roll them...the fella I talked to said that it was slightly rubbing and recommended that I shave about and 1/8 of and inch off each fender and that I should be fine. Well I shaved off a little more than an 1/8 of an inch off and I was just rubbing slightly around the corners and bends. So I said "F" it, I'm having them rolled...luckily the body shop my bro works at has experience in doing these things, so I brought it there and problem solved....no rubbing at all...even with 4 heads packed in back seat!!

Of course this was all done quite some time ago just wanted to share these pics with everyone.

Oh that's a pic looking upwards toward my fender...you can see inside where they rolled it in...the paint cracked a bit...which is ok with me...cause it's something no one really sees.

No one sees the cracks NOW, but when those cracks start opening up they will see them loud and clear. You should get them sealed Seize. Seriously.
