It seems like the paint would chip pretty bad. That and the complete lack of a lip would reduce the strength of the fender...

It will weaken the strength of your fenders,, so when you need a pull they will come out like ****..

Mine are cut, as are a few other people here in Hawaii. Lots of room (come say more than rolling can provide) and zero problems. However, I don't think anyone has had to pull, so I can't comment on that.

Hello all. I have been doing alot of reading and searching through this thread and man, most of you have very nice setups!

I just ordered some wheels after doing a ton of number crunching and researching. Can't wait to contribute to the thread. Here is what will be arriving at my doorstep in a month or two.

Venaci Mesh(Reverse Lip) - Gold
20x9.5 +5 - 225/35
20x11 +5 - 265/30

After drooling over Big C's setup and reading about some of his rubbing problems, I decided on this setup. My biggest concern is having to pull the rear fenders. I want to avoid it, but if I have to, I will. Anyone know off-hand if I will have to pull for sure? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Here is how the car sits now: (It's low as hell and hoping the twankies give me more ride-clearance.)

Surprisingly, I make it around pretty well, but that's where I am hoping the 20's will come in.

Well if you are just going to cut it and leave it then its just fine.. But if you want to steep it up and don't have weak offsets, your need a pull and then you will find trouble very soon with the cut..
