Default Grinding fenders for larger tires

I wrote up a post on SF based on my experiences rolling, cutting, and grinding fenders. Grinding turned out the best, by far: http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho...=1#post9129149

Here's mine I used a cut-off wheel on my grinder. I'm running 275/40/17 front and rear on Supra TT rear 9.5" wheels. I road race the car and had rubbing issues in the rear so I did all sides. I also did this with my last SC too. I have mine cut almost flush with the outer part of the fender. I also had to grind down my LS400 calipers to fit the TT rear wheels up front, but it wasn't to bad. The front offset looks a lot better now with the wider wheels, flush enough for my taste and very functional.
