Well I had to raise the rear as my fender was literally sitting on the tire. So the rubbing is now gone for the most part except for when I hit larger bumps. I am going to raise the rear a bit more and find a body shop to do my fender rolling, then I will drop it some again. I think it looks pretty sick in person. Definitely looks real mean! I don't know if I can break the tires loose

The wheels come with small red stickers you can place on there if you want to from Enkei.

Steve elected not to place them on the wheels, while Dan did. Our local customer chose not to either.

I found out today while getting a quote from a body shop that that can't be done because the fender is tack welded there and thats the only thing holding the body panel on. Rolling will give me the results I need, just need to find someone that can do it and find a reasonable price. I am looking! :D

ya steve, just cut that lip off that you would normally roll, if you cut it off, and grind it smooth you'll get a little more clearance then you would if you rolled.

Yeah true, but I could also slip with the cutoff wheel! lol Plus If I do roll it I can actually roll the lip as well as push the fender out some, so there would be even more clearance! I rode home today as I am sick and had to put the stock wheels in the rear but the fronts fit fine with little/no rubbing. I am just thinking about renting a wheel roller and doing it myself, but I am going to call around first just to see what the prices are. All I need are the rears done.
