Hey Tom can you post some shots of your fenders so we can see what was-wasn't shaved? Thanks!

The whole front & rear fender is shaved down to about 3mm all around.


Just got my car aligned finally after letting the coilovers settle. I'm tucking the top of the tire all around without rubbing with 235/35/19 on 19x8.5 +15 and 265/30/19 on 19x10 +20.

Looks amazing! Best looking GS on 19's. I thought your fronts were 8.5 though?

Finally, here she is after all the trouble. Shout outs to Need4Speed Motorsports; Chris, for the Wheel and Tire hook up, and help! Also all the help from other CL members!

Wheels: Rennen CSL 2 Step Lip
20x10 +30 ; +15mm spacer front (had to put a spacer to fit due to design of the wheel to clear the factory BBK)
20x10 +20 Rear. (5mm spacer is on its way)
so this will be +15 all around.

Lowered on: BC Coils

Mods: Rear fender shaved

Tires: 235/35/20 all around

Planning on going a little lower, and a must on a alignment.

Yes they are. If you really want those widths you should drop down to 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. Just letting you know those fronts will probably rub on a full-lock turn.
