would you looking at a rear fender mod if you use 285 and above (assuming you have lowered the car)?

Depending on the rim offset I might have to modify the rear fender. I don't mind if I have to shave or pull the fender. What I really need is as much traction as possible. I will have close to 600-700hp at the wheels.
