I just sahved my fenders about a week ago. You can get an angle grinder or belt sander and sand the inside of the fender down. Both tools cost about 30 dollars each. I took the black rubber strip off and shave the inside lip of the fender down leaving about 5 mm left on it. I was able to put the black strip back on too. Just shave the strip down to match what you shaved off on the fender (you could leave the strip on while shaving so that you shave both at the same time). To put the black strip back on, I just replaced the two end screws holding it on, and then used some exterior heavy duty double-sided tape (the black or grey kind) for the middle of the black strip. Not sure if you read my thread, but my offset in the rear is 20x9.5 +25.
here is a pic of what mine look like before the strip was put back on.

Someday, we'll have a full how-to guide on LGW but for now hope this video helps some folks who are daring enough to try on their car."

well dude a 20x9 with a 255 is the problem i see. is you went down to a 245/35/20 you would b fine to lower it a little more. and if you get a thin design tire like the toyos than you be fine. i'm taking my car to a shop called Mad Mods in Ft. lauderdale next week to have the fendors shaved, i'll try to get them to take pics of the process.

245 and 255 have the same overall height basically, just 10 mm wider for the 255.
00, Just use the belt sander, sounds like a solid way to do it with barely any risk.
