Help on dropping the Sedan

Hey guys, I just recently got my wheels put on and I want to get rid of that annoying gap. The wheels are 20x8.5 and the offset is +35 with 245/35/20 tires. I don't want to get the fenders rolled so what would be the best solution for my problem. I have heard the Eibach Pro-Kit works really well as well as the stock 350z springs.

Thanks Guys-Matt

roll your lips

mine are rolled, its no big deal.

if you don't want to roll them, go back to stock or
turn up the radio so you don't hear the rubbing

just go with a shop that uses a hub mounted tool, and a heating gun.......as long as they do this and go slowly its no prob and costs about $35 per fender.

use front z springs and and non-sport rear g coupe springs
you can read about it in the sticky....another sedan with z suspension.

You shouldnt need to roll your fenders with that setup. Once you drop it, the wheels should camber in enough to not rub.

Actually, a little more than just cutting is involved here... you do want to sand it down to smooth it out and give it a layer of paint to protect it from weather.

It's actually more prefered over rolling the fenders because you won't ever have to worry about accidentally pulling the fender... I don't care how good the person rolling the fenders is, it happens.
