UPDATE: Yesterday ground little bit off the section of the rim that was rubbing. At this point I won't be able to do a drop due to the 3mm of room between the rim and strut. The only way I see it working is if I can find a strut that is a tiny bit smaller in diameter. Then I would have room to do a drop.

*UPDATE* Finally just cut about another inch off the fenders which totally eliminates the black rubber strip which I have to custom cut and glue on. That makes it about an inch and a half removed to reduce the rubbing. Again for anyone thinking about these rims I would HIGHLY suggest against it!
