Default Shaving fenders??

I've searched but didn't get clear answer...

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-05-sc430.html

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...p-gallery.html

19x8.5 +30 235/35/19 FK452
19x10 +31 265/30/19 FK452
L-tuned S/S (lowered approx 1" to 1 1/2")

Do I need to mod the fenders??
From my findings my specs are borderline, what do you guys think??

Thanks in advance...

I wanted to mod the fender first before it gets here if needed.

No mod to fenders needed in front and as for the rear, that is going to be very close, but I don't think you will have to.

Edit
Actually, I just saw that your going to only be lowered 1", so you will not rub and you will have a good size fender gap too.
