Dayum !! You're crazy Davis !! Your stance was sexy as fk already haha. Now I wanna see your car again .. Anyways, I use an angle grinder with a metal cutting wheel .. It cuts through the metal like butter .. Wanna borrow it ?

Haha, thanks man but I don't need it anymore. Besides, I wouldn't want to go up your driveway again hahah. Today I relocated one tab further back, shaved the plastic and bent the metal part up with a hammer. Sprayed some clear cloat on it afterwards for safety measure. Tested it out and still heard rubbing.

Then just right now, I placed duct tape on the tabs and the area around it. Went for a drive and decided to go on some dips and parked the car in the middle of a dip when I heard it rubbing to check it out. Turns out it's rubbing on the part where the bumper meets the quarter panel/fender. Should've done the tape test sooner haha. Oh well, I'll just shave them down a bit tomorrow. :smash:

And sorry for being off-topic, Macs.

Nice man. Glad you finally got the tires. You should've went with 215/45's though. 205 is a little too narrow for me.

I just got done shaving the bumper. Yay, no more rubbing lol. :boink:

Macs, you should get your fenders rolled if you haven't already. Or do the tape test (with your friends in the car lol) that I mentioned before, and check to see where it is rubbing so you can roll/shave accordingly.

i canot roll my fenders unfortunatly because the previous owner has allready cut the fenders (just not enough... for the new drop) and i looked today while putting th new tires and clutch on that the tabs have been re loaced and the tire is rubbing on a piece of the fender missed a little bit... it stick out a tad more than the rest.. so i will cut that dow tomorrow and we will be all good!

btw the tires are amazing!!!

289 for Khumo's? highly unlikely but awesome if its true!

btw the names josh! ;)
