fender tab mod?
Hi all! getting close to finally putting my 20's on, i have been searching the forum for days trying to find a diy or pics of some modded fenders so i can be prepared i understand the fender tab has to be cut off and relocated as well as a heat gun on the fender lining but is there an actual diy or pics out there? i tried the search so i had to ask thanks in advance guys!

Can you maybe snap a pic of what it looks like complete?... Is it just pretty much cutting the metal tab where the fender meets the bumper then drilling a hole and securing it with a clip or tie wrap?

I have 19x8.5 +35 with 235/35/19 which is 10 mm. wider than yours. Mine also has taller overall diameter of 25.47 inches versus 25.31" of yours. I only have very very faint rubon the liner which can be cured by heat gun (so minor I didn't even feel when it rubbed!). Considering your set up is both shorter and narrower, you will be very safe unless you slam your car to the ground.

I'll be taking off my front bumper tonight. I'll take pics of my fender tab. But the fender tab is right where the fender meets the bumper. There is a bolt holding your bumper that needs to be removed. I actually cut the metal tab about 5mm on each side with an air grinder and then hammered it up and out of the way. Bumper stays in place with a zip tie.
