Roll the front fender tabs flat, if you can also roll the lip without damaging the outside is a plus. But since you are on air, you might just need to gauge the lowest point you can drive without scraping.

The rear fender lip needs to be cut, leaving 1/4 or 3/8 lip depending on how stretched you go with the tires. At this point, you can tuck and drive at the same time

Have fun and let us know how it goes.

LOL And I did know what wheels you were getting since we discussed about the offsets earlier.

All that teasing for 19s? I guess you guys on 'Air' need the little wheels to get the cars that low Boo!

Diggin' the wheels; I like the offsets. The rear are very aggressive, use a skinny tire and cut those fenders! I know they will tuck when the car is all the way down, I am curious to see how they look with the car at a more 'normal' driving height. My guess is that the rears stick out about 4mm and the fronts are flush.

It's funny after having a 5-spoke wheel for a year, I am now headed a totally different direction with my new wheels.

Johnny... Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet?

LOVE the wheels. Can't wait to see them mounted.

By the way I think you hold the record for the fastest growing threads on CL.
