Roll + tire size + camber

Unless you're doing an overfender

that be awesome! but i was more thinking compare and contrasting u know how we roll our fenders? lol wit a baseball bat or with that really expensive tool that we could rent? that to where u dremel and cut at the fender... not to install over fenders but to cut the excess inside where they roll.

everyone has gone to stacy @ nu image in wahiawa for $35 a fender. i believe he uses the tool.
relocate you rear bumper tabs and you should be good to go. ask lee for help as he is our expert

you want to roll that "excess" or "lip" back into the fender itself. you don't want to remove it or cut it out just because you'll be weakening the structural rigidity of the rear quarter panel...

imo just go to stacy at nu image and get it rolled. like felipe said =)

okay so everyone picture this in your head

nissan 350z, custom color (like a mix between bloody poop and red wine)

wiiiiiiiiiide body kit (enough to easily fit a 295 rear)

20" chrome wheels (like the kind that you can only get through rentarim.com or whatever ghetto website that does that)

and the wheels are probably a 235 rear so they sit way inside

aaaaaaaaand the topper is there is silly little texas longhorn emblems all over it

roll the fenders, and if not satisfied
plan B: buy a wide-body kit

I personally took a baseball bat and heat gun to my DC2.

then again, my rims and tires were worth more than the car
s2000s deserve professional care, and at $35 a fender you cannot go wrong
