I use camera+ and expose for the sky. Pretty simple really, than use their clarity button to add some depth to the other wise flat image. No other filters were even used LOL

The inner lip is required to keep strength in the fender for the pull. The fender roller(guy doing your fender work) should/will still shave alot of the inner lip, but leave enough for extra strength should you need to pull later for wider wheels.
I don't mind cross platforming wheels, haha, then again I have a scion on Benz wheels, errr did* have lol. gonna go hard this time around though hopefully, I actually like the design of the 7 series, it's simple. I always wanted bazreias and that's what I had planned our then I saw you had them and now I'm like fuhhhhhhhhhhh lol. I'll figure something out

I'm looking to run 19x9 + 13 on 225/40 & 19x10 +12 on 255/35 real soon.

I'm also tryin to avoid body work at all cost... Will I have to shave & roll the fronts at this size ? As for the rear with this set up, can I get away with rolling the lip or will it have to be shaved ?

I just got the Megan arms installed yesterday and got the wheels aligned at a shop. I didn't notice anything different before or after installing the rear arms (I've been driving pretty slow).
