i just cut out everything where the headlight bracket is and cut out where the clip is where the bumper meets the fender. then i drilled another hole farther up and put a 10mm bolt and nut. also, i took a heat gun and pushed back the lining and rolled the fender clips.

i was slammed and tucking to the bead of my tires, I got beached on my own driveway. lolz the rim hit the fender and slightly pushed it out. so hence the raise. no didnt get the wheel set up from genki. i bought it off some local on craigslist. supringly it worked out fine.

do you have picture of how your fender liner look like? I really need to do this. I am tired of rubbing the fender liner. If someone still wants to see how my fenders look like right now I can take it tomorrow.Btw, my front offset is 38. my rear is 43. Does anyone know if I will rub in my rear if I slam my rear. My tires is 265/35/19. 19x10 43 offset.

My camera didnt work. But I just ended up using my camera phone.I circled the part wheres its damaged. Seems like the hole got bigger. 
The passenger fender is still fine. No holes yet but you can see rubber mark. There is no fix to this?

HMM when I lift the car up on the mechanical lift... I see the clip is where the bumper meets the fender. I use a metal roll stick and ram them with the hammer to bend the bracket.. BUt I still need to figure out how to remove them and I dont think they will work because how the bumper gonna hold..

Hartawan: you got some serious fender lining holes. need thinner tires!!
it's quite normal to get some rubbing from fender liners if you're too low or running wrong tire setup. nothing to be afraid of you're not going to get water or damage any wires.
