Did you have to do any mods to the plastic fender lining to get the rear to sit any lower

no,,I did not have to remove or cut the plastic fender in the rear

You didn't need to do anything to the fender liner for the car to go all the way down? You cut the fender though right?

you can push the plastic, but it might give you little/better clearance if you just cut it

Running a 275 is fine. You should turn the coils down some more.

It's not your tires IMO. It's how much you adjusted the coils. PM djkhanvict and ask him how low he set his
