If you pull your fenders wont you be less flush? im tryin to do it the cleanest possible way without having to do any paint. Thats why i figured shaving the inside would be the best. What do you think? I keep having the issue of having the lips on my wheels rub the fender. Did you ever have that problem with your CF lips on your DPEs?

Don't have those wheels any more, but I never had that problem. You prb need more camber or more low so you can have more camber if you don't have arms.

Pulling fenders wont make you less flush, mine our pulled and I'm hellaflush sir..

i like your vids becuase they show the "realness" of the best moments of driving/fixing/washing our projects...

most people take these moments for granted but to me there is no better feeling than wshing your car at a car wash with music goin and having people stare at your hard work and appreciating whats into it when they see you on the gruond trying to polish your exhaust or sweating cause your getting the rims shining just right....

it to me is the best moment when leaving that car wash on a nice sunny day blingin everywhere lol...
Truer words have never been spoken...sometimes I let my friends drive my car so I can appreciate seeing my car rolling on the highway. It's a rare sight, because you're always inside, but you get a whole different look while its rolling...Speaking of...I had an older guy follow me this morning all the way to school and into the parking lot just so he can say how much he loved the ride...lol I helped make up his mind on purchasing a Z. Glad I was inspiration to him.

thnx man...iv'e had many moments where i roll into a car wash and people stare and give me the "young punk spoiled kid" look....but theyre looks always seem to change once i throw out a towel on the ground get under and start polishing my exhaust or show complete disregard for what im wearing in order to clean the lowest parts of the car or wheels lol..

and i too have/let my homies drive my car down the street for me just to see the car from the outside...it gives me a moment to stop and appreciate the creativity/blood/sweat/tears/money/thoughts that went into my car...night time flybys included so i can see how the lights bounce off the road and how low im getting lol....

or ill sit passenger just to see what its like or see the attention the car gets...
overall just enjoying your car and the community of people into the same ****...who appreciate it....

Technically yes, but you would not pull your fenders to become less flush. The reason to pull your fenders is because your wheels are (for lack of a better term) beyond flush - they stick out a little too much and are rubbing badly. So you need to massage the fender outwards a little for more clearance for the tire/rim. Does that makes sense?

If you are rubbing just a little and your fenders are already rolled ( the lip on the inside of the fender flattened), then its probably easiest to just add a little camber to bring the top of the wheel inwards away from the fender where it is rubbing.

That brickyard gets better and better looking damn. I love your style. The rims hitting the fenders does suck though. But that doesn't matter I love the look. Great job man.
