oh nice i wasn't expecting that response. i was under the impression that with that setup (espelir springs on stock struts with 15mm/20mm and 225/255 tires), there would be to much compression of the spring and would cause it to hit and/or pull out the fender. glad to know i wouldn't need fender mods. i was ready to get my fronts and rears rolled along with the tab relocation

Guys I need some opinions, my front and rear fenders are CUT, with the rears having the bumper tab relocated. What size spacers can I safely run without having to worry about messing up my fenders while turning and going over bumps? Im thinking about 10mm up front and 20mm in the rear? My car is pretty low I don't have any wheel gap

you should be able to go at least 15mm on the front (w 225 tires). I'm no-wheel gap fender rolled with 16mm, and i don't have any issues.
20mm on 255's in the rear is the most i would do unless you want to dial in some camber.

Im running 215/45 and 245/40 so 15mm front and 20mm rear will be ok? I don't want to have to worry about slowing down around turns just in case there's a bump so the tire doesn't hit the fender

should be fine. im running 20/25 spacers with the same size tires and no issues. i have my fenders rolled, slightly pulled, and tabs relocated. ive had 0 issues. you can go back through this thread and see my set up to see how slightly pulled my fenders are, you cant really tell.
