Ah, the best or nothing ))

The +31 rears should definitely rub, but +33 fronts are perfect. That about tires?

245/35/19 and 265/30/19

There should be no rubbing if all my calculations are correct. We will see.

Since I have had my rear fender rolled and fulled, the rear fenders do look a little bit weird now. Although it's not that obvious I know it's there looking weird. Have always been thinking of finding a solution to fix that little bump that you have on ur rear fender after pulling them as shown below.


I have finally found a solution but I do not know if they work. I did it anyways, so here we come. I have received these parts from Japan







YES THEY ARE RCF REAR FENDER BLADES.

These parts do not fit on our car directly with 3M tapes as they do come with clips that are supposed to be clipped onto the RCF rear bumper, so I went ahead and trimmed those clips off.



After trimming the clips off, it's super easy to put on as just 3M tape. Aligned with the rear fender and bumper and install them. They do not flow with the IS body 100% but I can accept the imperfection. Here come the result.
