I had my fenders rolled by a local club member for $50. He also relocated the bumper tab. Absolutely easy. Took him 2 hours and no rubbing issues.
What is this bumper tap you guys are talking about?

With a wide enough wheel/tire set up you will rub the bolt (front side bolt nearest the fender on the rear bumper) the bolt is moved back about an inch or two to be pushed out of the way of the tire, also so it can be tightened. New holes are drilled etc.

Hmmm.....I run a 18x10 rear rim and 275/35/18 BFG DR's but it doesnt seem to rub that screw. The only part it sometimes rubs is the inner lip of bumper plastic and I just let it rub to open up a spot for the tire. I'll look at mine again but i dont think that screw is in my way.

what offset? did you roll and relocate?
No I didn't do anything with it yet. The body hasn't been touched. It just went right on and barely cleared

Surprising with that wheel size, but you might just be getting past it for various reasons, such as high enough wheel offset- Wheel alignment- Limited susp compression over bumps. If your tire is stretched on the rim somewhat, you might be tucking in just past it under compression.

I guess it has to do with the offset being setup correctly, I dont know.

They are custom iForged rims and the offset was set up the best way according to them. I have a 2" lip on the rears and 1" on the fronts that are 18x8.5. On the rears, there is only about 1/2" of space between the inner tub and inner tire. My 275/35's are rougly 11" wide and my rear rims are 10" wide, so no possible tire stretch at all. My alignment is setup so I get the highest possible contact patch on the ground, even when it squats. If I remember correctly, 2 deg of rear camber is the least I could go with mine being lowered about an inch with the Eibach Pro springs.

Sounds like a nice set up

Still a little skimpy in back for my taste though

Advan AD08's are garbage for anything but track, I have 265's on my car and they dont even squeal on 100 degree days. They are way too hard of a compound for hooking up on the street...
