    I ripped out the plastic, also heated the inside of the fenderwells and the framerail with a torch and notched it in with a hammer (also hammered my fender lips completely flat).

    Decent amount of work but I have pretty decent wheels + tires with NO rubbing, full lock on any angle surface.

    Just don't turn the wheel as much during parking. Or if you hit it, don't cry, you're just polishing the plastic.
    Ah ok, i'm at ET25 as well right now, guess i'll just ignore it for now, there's not much rubbing anyway

    Dude I am running the same tire an size on a car with a cup kit on it. How much rub are you getting? Cuz I don't have a lot. I not gonna worry about it, they dont rub enough to make a shit one way or another.

    they arent they just go on the tie rod. You pull the boot back and tighten them down.
