Although they did not cut material off, the pull was so drastic that they did have to pull the arch up words so it is technically a radius. He wanted the wheels to look like they would be resting less then 1mm on the fenders at drive hight which is why he didn't have them cut any material off. Hope that makes sense.

I can't wait to see this car again this weekend.

It's not 100% done yet but I was very impressed. To be able to tuck 11" wide double digit negative offset wheels on a GS without excessive camber is no easy task. I can't wait to see this thing on the road soon
thats sick rob....

I am still trying to recover some more build pics. They will get posted soon. Here is one I found real interesting. Looks like the wheel would destroy the fender but the wheel actually compress' under the quarter panel without touching it. (pic was taken before paint)



Lot's of precise measuring and tweaking of the suspension to get that tight fitment. These guys are well worth the wait, distance and money that they charge.
