I like the subtlness of the GS without a kit. But, then again the K-Break kit would look nice too.

no cutting here, at least in the rear... rolled the lip flat, then pulled. for the fronts i trimmed the inner lip off leaving a 1/4", then hammered the lip flat...

there is no rubbing at all in the rear all though all the way down the rim at its closest is about 3mm from hitting the inner fender.

specs are, i think, 19x9.5 +15, 19x10 +10... im sure he can drive like that, only going straight. any turning and the front tires would mangle the fenders....

nice work. howd you get the lips flat out back without dimpling the outer skin? hammered it carefully in I guess?

i got my guards rolled, they didnt need to get rolled that far really but i went less aggressive on rim specs cause i didnt think it could be done without damage. Then the shop that did mine basically just managed to get the about 1/2 flat out back with the panel just starting to dimple, but you can only see it on the perfect angle so im not fussed. But there's no way they could have gone any further i dont think ... my rears are only +24 :( haha

He may have shaved then roll/pull it. I'm pretty sure that's what he did.

nope, no shaving here... all roll and pull, you cant really see it but it did dimple in right where those 2 holes are.... but with a heat gun, a fender roller, bucket of cold water, cotton towel, and a shammy, i did my best to make it less noticeable... and the rear lip is pretty much flat. if you max roll and pull, those dimples will disappear on its own, but thats if your trying to tuck 19x10 +/-0 or less....

yup, used red handle snips. then hammered the rest flat with a hammer.... but on my LS, i trimmed, hammered flat, the fiberglassed the back for added support. ever had the tire catch the lip of the fender, and mangle up the metal?

Mista808,

I "should" of fiberglass my fenders after I cut (probally a good 2 1/2 inches).........I hit a huge pot hole and crumpled the crap out of them. Then I used my "Club" to do my own version of "Dent Doctors......fenders look like a "golf ball" with all them "dimples". LOL Never thought to use "snips", I used a "Rotary" tool.....went through a whole bunch of "wheels" LOL.

Much Props to the Empire Family. Curious, how many Members you guys got now?
