Default question on strippin my fenders

i'm getting ready to strip my fenders. so i can fit into 15x8 +0 offset sport max 002 wheels with 205/50/15 tires. is it necessary to strip the fenders on the fronts or just the rears?or will i need to do all four corners?

the store said they cut the fender. and that would be a guarantee that the wheels wont rub. i'm just worried in the long haul. will this be a problem? or will stripping the fenders destroy my car?

I would talk to One Ton Garage before cutting and the like. They can let you know what you need. You likely need camber plates and different wheel offset. I assume you want something like the white XB here.

will they cause me not to rub with a +0 offset wheel? do tires wear at a accelerated rate?

They allow a very low offset by cambering the wheel. They reduce tire wear by adjusting toe in as well.

But if you already have 0 offset wheels.....They probably won't help as the camber shims add positive offset and you are already outside the wheel well. Why 0 offset?

cutting your fenders wont make a difference. The wheel sticks out past the fenders. All you will be doing by cutting the fender is making a sharper edge to cut into your tires with.

Rent the fender roller and do it yourself.

Do you already have the 205/50? You should look into a 195/45. What kind of drop do you have on the car?
