It just depends on how wide the rims are and what the offset is. You don't really know until you try. I'm maxed on my Megan EZ streets and I'm tucking 17" GS400 rims.



I just got my fenders rolled to fit my brother's BBS LM's 19x8.5 all around (Not sure what the offset is, but the converter's will space it to flush).

I had mine rolled by my brother's friend. First you wanna unscrew that liner around the fender with a philips screwdriver, then you wanna take the pieces that the screws were screwed to out by prying it with a flathead and/or pull it out with a pair of pliers.

I did end up getting some dimples on one of my front fenders, but I don't really care. I'm going to get my car painted after some body work.

You need to get in there yourself and have a look at what is actually going on under there


Ditch the lining, or part of it, and roll the metal, and it's no big deal at all
