As long as you sealed it up well with touch up and clear coat, that should be fine since that's usually what they do they shave them.

Yeah, I did paint it and put a clear coat on. Unfortunatly I took my car through a couple high speed runs on some s curves by my house and on the last curve I got it to scrap. Apparently they stick out a lot farther than I thought. Im gonna see if bending them back a little more will take car of it. If not I may take it to a body shop and have them shave it. I dont want to screw the paint up and make it rust. Any ideas on what I should pay a body shop for them to shave the rear fenders and seal them up so it wont rust?

Grider, water to disappate heat, and a seal job like you mentioned you did earlier will save you the $$$

also from reading this post seems like you offset is a bit off..you never seemed to aknowledge this so i am just bringing it to your attention bro :bday:

The offset should probably sit in, a bit more. They only made the rims in a 45 offset and a 35 offset. I did mention I went with a 35 offset. I asked the rim guy (indigosolara) and he told me 45 would rub the struts which he is probably right since I have like a finger and a half distance from them with my 35 offset. And he did tell me 35 offset would sit flush and I may have to roll the fenders. I just had to roll the fenders a little more than I thought I would. But ideally you would want a 40 offset. I could probably have a machine shop mill down the inside hub of the rim 5mm, but im sure that wouldnt be very safe.
