The paint on the front fenders are cracking but nothing big that touchup paint cant cover up.

All you gotta do is throw some touch up paint on the area you cut/shaved to prevent rust. Otherwise it can rust just like you said.

sometimes you just gotta go with 19.. the roads in the east can be quite rough... and the 20" is pretty harsh for some...

I think all the guys on CL would be disturbed at the hacking and cutting that he has done to this car to make it happen. But its tucking front and rear and rolling flush.

its cracking where the tabs for the fender lining are. You know where the holes for the plastic fender lining clip is. You have to fold that up which causes cracking of the paint at where you bend it. The headlight bracket is also chopped behind right where the bumper meets the fender. The bumper and fender are also trimmed where it meets. The 10mm screw that holds the bumper to the fender has also been removed and relocated farther inside via new holes drilled so that the tire does not rub it. Do you get the picture now???
