what size tire do you have?? you can prob get away with a 35 series and drop it lower to get more camber, then pull the fender not as much with the 40 series tire on. that should help a lot.

can be done, easier one 18" sizes... but that means going LOW to fit them right! good luck!

make it funner by putting those wheels under an unmodified exterior fender

I think my wheels stuck out by around the same amount when i first fitted them. Just get some adjustable camber arms and add as much camber as you can. Then you would only need a minimum pull to get them under the guards...

Or why run those particular wheels? Just because they're avl/cheap and have a lot of "lip?" You could also sell them for good money to someone else and get some nice 19x9.5, +10mm/20x10.5, +10mm and try to make those fit to be a modern day bad ass circa 2007. Don't worry about trying to emulate what the Japanese were doing 5-8 years ago (and possibly end up ruining what appears to be a clean car by giving it the ruffles got ridges fenders, and wheels that don't really look like they belong), instead do something that you can look at and think "not bad, not bad" every time you look at your car today, tomorrow, and 3 years from now.

i think
your idea is to
pull the fender.
but
my suggestion was to leave the exterior fender
untouched, doing all the modification UNDERneath in a pelothera of ways. I personally think it looks a lot cleaner.
but it seems much of the folk around like the idea of "fender flares" and "deep dish" wheels in any way, shape, or form. i guess vip is all about showing it off...
its like lip and boob jobs for cars, i suppose.

You can fit those wheels on stock y33 fenders. Just takes some work.
