Rear fender mods
Bought a set of wheels and i wanted the rears to be aggressive and i knew that i was going to need a slight roll or shave in the rear, but now i have my wheels and tires mounted and they stick about a half inch out from the rear fender. I was thinking about having the fender pulled for clearance. Has anyone done this? if so advice/pics/ suggestions anyone...

My rear setup I have 19x10 +30 with 255/40/19 tires.
I had to shave off the rear qtr panel and most importantly the area where the bumper meets the panel.
I have read many post on most ppl do not recommend rolling the rear qtr panel due to the metal being double layered and very thick. It may create ripples.
Try the shaving method first, if it still rubs that you may need to get the panel pulled.

i would shave the rear fenders then i would just camber in a little bit and call it a day. fronts i would roll and camber in just enough to clear.
i wouldn't pull fenders till your ready. the cost to fix an error in the pull is far greater than just ordering a rear camber kit.

Figs Engineering and SPC are my favorites.
ive always had bad luck with megan but they make them too. other people seems to love them and swear by them but with my experience its not my cup of tea.
i order my SPC stuff from THMotorsports and i ordered the figs stuff directly from figs engineering.
