Default New wheels on the SC.. too big?!

Hey guys..

I made a post about getting 20" Axis Matrix wheels on the SC and most people were saying that I could get away without have the fenders rolled. Well, I got the wheels on and they're looking very nice, but it definitely looks like I need the fenders rolled. I have some pics if you guys could make any suggestions in terms of what I should do. I'm really considering taking them back and putting the stock rims back on because these are giving me a headache!

Yes, you will have to fender roll... IMO, they don't look good either...

I like those wheels but need a big fender roll and a drop. They look weird otherwise.

Dont really have the money to slam it right now, but it could be a possibility. Any idea on a measurement to have the body shop roll the fenders?

^$1500 for good coilovers. Fenders will have to be modified probably so add that in

your going to need a drop, right now you look like one of those SCs that pops up in Oakland every now and again
