I think a smaller tire in the front should fix this problem for everyone. That's why I'm going with 215/35/19 in the front. The rolling diameter is VERY close to stock 225/45/17 so I would imagine many people wouldn't have a problem then if you're careful. Good luck guys, hopefully I won't join this club later on! hahaha

I have similar damage on my IS, except the damage is more towards the front of the fender. Pretty sure it happened when I hit a curb pretty hard one night on a windy and poorly lit road.

finding the right offset/right tiresize/right amount of drop to look good and NOT damage your fender is 'perfect stance', many people here say~ looks great/perfect stance but thats not really true is it~ obtaining tire tuck with rim poke and ZERO FENDER DAMAGE is our holy grail, many try but few succeed

dang if your guys are running +30...35 offsets dropped and doing that to the fenders. then how do you run +22 or less offsets slammed daily without ruining your fenders?

I have yet to ruin my fenders...but my tires, on the other hand was getting eaten up by the fender. If you're slamming, gotta tuck in tire to avoid it...

tucking tire causes this....


if you want to prevent it everyone, roll your fenders flat up front and there wont be anything to catch on...

Hmmm...Looks like your car are not even very low.

What is the wheel and tires spec on yours?

I have about a 1 finger gap between the tire and fender. The picture is a little bit deceiving, I took it at an upwards angle. I'm running 225/35/19's in front, as you can see, my tires were getting eaten up. I cut the metal tabs between the fender/bumper, and raised it a little bit since then. It used to be tucked. I'll probably raise it more, ride on these tires till they're no good, and my next set get some 215's.

Could you provide the width and offset of your front wheel?
