^^^ LOL.
Thanks and no...not yet.
With the holidays keeping me busy, my rims and tires have been sitting in the garage.

The plan is to get them mounted this week though

f20kills: That made me feel a ton better about my purchase haha.

Do you have any pics of how much the roll/flare is in the front and rear? I can't wait for these damn wheels to get here.

Yeah the car is pretty low, zero fender/tire gap., just before tuckin tire. I'm not as much worried as to be able to fit the wheels, but to finally find a good solution to my damaged fender. I'll post a pic tn. Just not sure if the flared oem fender is the best look, however it would be most durable solution. I just need to figure out how PHarrel was able to smoothen out the underside of the fender where it's buttery smooth

the problem with most slammed AP's running a 9.5 to 10 inch wheel (doesn't matter what tire size)in the front is that the top of the tire will rub against the top of the fender when hitting a bump or going up a drive way. the best solution is to rework your fenders to move the flare up or get aftermarket fenders like DownForce.

I dont have any pics of the fronts and my rears are pulled and rolled pretty aggressive. I can fit 17x10+38's back there with a 255 tire....below 17x10+38



The fronts are just your typical roll flare (probably 10mm pull) that everyone does.
Easy to do with a fender roller and a nice touch

DF fenders will do the same since the fender comes "in" and meets the bumper like stock fenders. If you attempt to go up a driveway with your wheel fully turned...get ready for your tire to grab and pull the fender

I think flared OEM fenders would look plenty clean enough especially on Berlina where the body line isn't going to be as obvious as other colors.

Yeah it seems to be the best/affordable solution. I love downforce, but not looking to destroy another FRP fender lip, plus the oem are more forgiving. Also the DF fenders make the S look like it has reverse stagger with oem quarter panels
