Default Shave AND pull?

Hey guys just wanted to know if anyone has any experience with shaving and pulling the rear or if this is even possible. My rear is already shaved and I have the longer camber itarms but I still cant seem to get my wheel to clear when I hit a dip. Im on 19x10 +10 offset

ull prob need a small pull only. Dont pull too much unless u want the tucked look. A lot of members here have done it, i also pulled mines 2 inches because i had 19x10 -6 on the rears.

If you do pull, u most likely have to spot paint the quarter panels.

If you shave to far, yes, the panels will separate and reduce integrity of the whole rear quarter. if you shave it back quite a distance, simply re spot or seam weld the shave again
