Default a rethink on fender mods...

Well to begin with I wanted to avoid having to mod my fenders to fit a wheel, but after further research I've decided its not that bad and totally worth the fit.

Will a fender shave and roll be enough to fit

18x8.5 25offset
18x10 25offset


*edit* lol i've checked out the fitment thread a trillion times and i cant believe i didnt see that mongolkhan's sc had a slightly more aggressive fit than this without stretching as hard with only rolled fenders. question answered =p

Dude I have that setup and I'm not dropped and its completely fine. Every now and then I'll get a "SCHRHRHHRRH" sound...but thats if I dont know the roads and I'm hauling ***(speed limit for **** roads) Go ahead and roll and shave but I'd say its worth it to save your time and try it without shaving first. Then see whats up.

edit: I actually have 9.5F 10R still 18 though. Mine are RUFF. And suspension is KYB with stock springs if I'm not mistaken.

The front shouldn't need anything done. The rear might need a slight roll depending on tire size.

the front will be slightly sunken in you might be able to get away with a 265/35 on a that setup with a really good roll

here is a 19x10.5 with i think a 26 offset, tire size is a 265/35/19


a 255 on my set up will clear the fenders perfectly

It looks good, but too much camber for me and having to replace tires too often.
