you'll be fine bro just have to be cautious when reversing on uneven areas...the tire might grab the fender and cause it too buckle...ugly stuff once that happens!

-Purchased an Mrev2 + spacer from a member on here.
-Purchased a buffer (finally), rubbing compound and polish to clean up the exterior.
-Bought a helmet for drag racing a week ago off craigslist.

Good stuff.

So as soon as it slightly compresses the fender gets destroyed. Even if you raise it , you need to set the shiock length to where the bumpstops will engage prior to fender destruction.

Or change to wheels with a better offset.

Yeah, short version is: your wheels are too large and the tyres are too small.
