If I could just take up Glen's offer and sand down the plastic I would be thrilled. I don't want to pay $80 to get the fenders rolled if it isn't going to solve my issue. Any pics would be a HUGE help Jonathan. Thanks!

Default pics...dunno how much it helps

only had time to jack the car up and snap a few pics...would have been better if I had time to take the wheel off.

anyways...i hope this helps a bit. You could always try sanding and if it doesn't work, then have em rolled.

That's exactly what i have on my car for wear marks. Again, it happened when I had 20's. I don't think it rubs w/the 19's.

The big difference is Synergy is maybe 2 inches lower than you, which explains the severity of his rubbing.

Same problem only more !!

Yeah I do need to change the sig MC

Well it looks like Glen and I are going to break out the hacking tools and start bending, sanding and cutting to retain the drop while killing the rub. That is the plan, we will take pics and advise. I know that there are a ton of people out there w/ the same wheel setup and are probably frusterated as well. Or am I the only guy that hates gap???
