ahgrafx Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Has anyone trimmed their rear fender to accept larger tires and wheels I think this guy did it very Tastefully https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgpivhJjAvBtlnZ5noKXqKjlhbsG https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgpivhJjAvBtlneSWeJILxOH2Rx6 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Doesn't look bad at all. I see trimming as proof that homework was not done to select the proper offset or back spacing of the rims. My motto is 'make the rims fit the car, not the car fit the rims'. Same with 'rolling the fenders'. That fold that gets flattened actually added structural stiffness to the fender. Quote Link to comment

It doesn't look too bad. Edited October 3, 2019 by mainer311 Quote Link to comment
