How low you plan on running the car? If you build-up and pull the fender, it will help and all depends what your eventual ride height will be for the look. Might see about getting the rears re-barrelled 9.5-10". Or keep the wheels as is and find a car where the offset isn't as aggressive to use them on.

whats the max pull?
Max neg camber is 2.5 thru adjustment on the lower arm,any idea hw much will it tuck the rim in frm the top?
Tire shops over here are pretty hesitant on stretching tires,the max they would try is 235/35's.will that work?
I'm afraid of pulling the fenders as if i cant pull off the look,there's gonna be no way 2 revert to the fenders original shape.i love this car and dont wanna do any major mods to it unless i'm sure to get it 2 fit.was thinking along the lines of a slight pull and flare with a slight poke.something like this....

i dont think he was trying to post it as his car. he already posted his car up, he just wanted a reference picture for the type of rear quarter panel work he wanted.
but jasvin, yea ur gonna need a pretty big stretch and a good pull to fit those wheels. 235/35 or 225/40if they make it.

I'm sorry,didint mean to step on any toes.Was just using that pic as a reference to show the look i was after.i'm new to this forum and duno reali know anyone here...'YET'..haha.Sorry for the pic hijacking.Btw,your car looks awesome Cuban GS and sorry if i offended you in any way.
And thanks LiCelsior for the explanation on behalf.
I'm afraid because in this country,there arent many ppl into VIP style,and even if there were,they do it on the conservative side with smaller wheels and so on.None of them have executed such looks perfectly like u guys have.We're also not blessed with workshops that support and are willing to take the risks associated with the general VIP style and mad wheel fitment.The expertise is also an issue here as none have reali done such a thing to the cars here let alone a lexus.Half the people here dont even kno what car this is.So as of now my car is more like a lab rat for experimentation.Just dont wanna ruin my rear fenders as its gonna be impossible to correct if anythin goes wrong.
Just want to know if the look can be pulled off and how to do it.If it can be done i wouldnt hesitate to pull the fenders.
Cuban GS,what was the wheel size and offset in the pic i used?did it stick out as much as on my car before you pulled the fenders and stretched the tires?Did u just use a roller to achieve that flare on your fenders?

Got a new set of tires in the same size for the front (gonna use the one good one left as a spare I guess). Turns out I had a bad valve stem, lol! Man I was pissed when this happened >_>...
