Fender Clearance NEED HELP

Hey guys, I just picked up some 20x9 et 30 for the front. The problem I had when I was lowered to the max was that I couldn't turn. The tires would just eat the fender. So I raised it up a bit till I get 225/35/20 nankangs to replace my 245/35/20 555's. Now I questions is since my front seem to be slightly sunken in, if I put 15mm up front with the nankangs and drop my car so that the fender covers half the side wall...will I eat fender? Please help me out. THanks!

My front left is rolled and got messed up and then the right side is shaved and I'm rubbing when i turn and going on uneven surfaces such as a slight dip with my car raised up 1/2 inch running the 245's. Right now my height in front is just sitting above the tire

I'm in the same boat. Running a 20x8.5 up front with a +29 offset and a 225/35 series tire.

I'm gonna have the body shop roll the fenders, but I don't know if that will be enough? It looks like I'm gonna have to pull the fender as well.

Anyone have any suggestions or pictures of a modified fender to help clear an aggressive offset?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as all my friends are telling me it can't be done and I would like to prove them wrong. =)

Sup Ray...Yeah I got the 225/35 Nankangs on the way and I'm gonna try the 15mm kics that I already have. Add some camber and hopefully I'll be ok. I tried looking for some aristo fenders, but did find any searching ebay and what not.
