Rubbing at stock height with 19's. ???? Shave the fender or just buy wheels that are made for your car. If you shave the fenders it will be cheaper but you are going to have to take off more than what I would comfortable with. Let a shop shave it.

I guess your referring to my car the inside edge is a little rough it was cut then grinded smooth with a grinder and then touch up painted. I don t know too many people that are going to get on their hands and knees to look up imbettween the gap bettween fender and tire to see how smooth the metal is
