Don't cut your fenders, even with a dremel tool, it will only cause rust down the line. Get them rolled its the best way to go. I rented a fender roller from BigSash, a member on here

I was told that they are available in +45 offset by d2autosport.

incorrect. +40 is the only offset the 20x10's come in or AutoMotiveMods would be selling the +45 because they would fit better.

PVC pipe and a heat gun/blow dryer will do it. I had to use a 1/2" pvc pipe since my fenders are a little less than a half inch between the fenders and tire.

and that's why you dont rub, the Z springs only drop your car an inch and you have a higher offset, therefore you dont rub. He has a +40 which pushes the wheel out an extra 3mm and has a more aggresive drop, so he rubs, rolling the fenders will fix it.

Lately I have been thinking about running the same size all around and not pulling the fuse. I have to think it over. I really worried about ruining the car in the long run by running with the fuse out.

You new wheels come in?

OK, first off Sevas do not come in +45, they are wrong. They only make a +40, check the inside of the wheel.

Cutting your fenders is fine as long as a good shop does it. I like to stick with rolling but the choice is yours. You can always rent a roller and DIY.
