It's not possible unless you go wide body..

With that said, I'll be getting negative offset wheels to go with my wide body next year

The reason you do the bumper tab relocate was to shave off that bracket so it doesn't rub... You missed s step

That bracket that he is referring to is for the headlights though. Isn't it?

Yeah that whole bracket/mount for the bumper tab also runs down to the brackets for the headlights. But those can be shaved down or at least bent to create more clearance. There's really a lot of metal in there that can be minimized to maximize wheel clearance but its definitely a matter of trial and error the further you go.

Nice! The color contrast looks really good in that light.

Do you have any profile pics showing how much poke there is?

19x10.5 +22 245/35 Hankook V12. Im considering doing and aggressive pull next summer so i can lose some camber and maybe run a wider tire, especially if i break 400whp on my tune.

Anyone know if i'll be needing fender work for 19x9.5 +24 245/35 19x11 +29 275/35? I'm only lowered on Swift Springs at the moment, looking to get coilovers soon and getting 30 series tires in the rear. Is it safe to run that tire size? I don't want to stretch too much nor do I want to rub.
