What fender mods were needed with the re-drilling? I take it probably less since no spacers were used?

I rolled the rears and probably ended up pulling them slightly.

Fronts i just rolled real half assed.

Tires are 225/35 front, 245/35 rear.

Alignment has a good bit of camber in the rear but I should have more then enough room to dial it back out a lot.

I'm sure you could easily cut the rears and just mildly roll the fronts and be good with those tire sizes. The wheels without adapter spacers are only 19x9 and 19x10 +24 iirc, so its not too aggressive for a stock body GS.

i got mine from motorsport technoologies.. they built 19 mm adapters for me works like a charm. But my fender mods were just a roll up front and a shave and a pull in the back. The tires are 215/35/19 up front and a 235/35/19 out back. i got to say i was scared to run that stretch but it was on point and it worked like a charm! here is a rolling shot of the car.
