    That's already with 15's. I'm not going any more than that. The fender is really fucked on the inside and jagged and just all messed up. The guy who rolled my fenders said he thinks it's been replaced, but there's nothing on the car fax or anything else to suggest that. The passenger side fender looks good, but the driver's is all weird. There's like some shit that seems permanently stuck in the fender lip and it rubs slightly. I'm gonna try to pull that crap out with something and push the lip back a couple mm myself to stop the rubbing.

    hmmmm. That fender pull looks uneven in some spots. unless thats just a weird reflection.

    I doubt you will be able to fit 15mm spacers too. Whats the offset on your wheels?
    You might be able to do at least a 10mm (probably pushing your luck) in the rear.

    They're wide for 215's. They really don't look skinny at all from the back and aren't extremely stretched.

    Man, if this had beefier tires it'd be so awesome.

    Update time!
    Rolled the fenders with a slight pull on the rear. Alex Rodoni did it for me. He fixed my front lips which were all pulled out and fucked up too. All for $100...not bad at all. I put the spring pads back on since he said there was no way in hell I'm fitting the 15mm spacers that I got at that height.
    Before:

    After:




    Bad pic of the clearance with the suspension mostly compressed:


    Sorry for the amazingly shitty shots. The fitment is actually much tighter/closer/better than the pics make it seem. I took them all so that it kinda exaggerates the pretty minimal gap between the tire and fender. Headunit(s) go in on thursday, which I'm pretty excited for. Still gotta deal with my exhaust problem...

    I have a feeling that the bolted connection between the cat and resonator is twisted so the pipe isn't straight and hangs down. I tried to fix it a bit but I didn't really do anything. Ill try again tomorrow with my dad because you need someone to hold it in place (jack doesn't work well) while tightening the bolts.

    I LOLed so hard at RUFFLZ. Dude cracks me up.

    lets all have a vivek avatar club.

    as far as your exhaust goes. i could be your rubber hangers are taking a beating. it may explain why its hanging lower if no mounds are messed up. is there a spot where it hangs lowest?

    They're getting pulled in the back, and my lips are fucked up in the front. I tried to mess with them and the paint started to crack so I stopped. I have an appointment with Alex (for any bay area guys) tomorrow at noon.


    Lol RUFFLZ has a new name for me every time this comes up.

    And on the topic of my main car problem right now, my exhaust is hanging retardedly low and I see nothing actually wrong with it. All mounts are on, but one looks like stretched down for some reason. No clue what's up.

    Shoot. just get a bat and roll those fenders yourself!
    thats what i did. I know its not exactly the best, but its still works. i actually have to roll my rear fenders a little more. theyre still chewing on the tires every now and then
