Anybody pull their fenders on their coupe?

My dilemma:

In order to clear my new BBK, I need 15mm spacers in the rear.

With that being said, if I space the wheels out 15mm the tire will not clear the fender. I can possibly stretch a 275 and fit it in there or pull the fender. Not sure how the fender would look pulled since it has a flat section...suggestions?

sell the wheels and get a correct set of wheels that fit your car.

the rears are only 10" width? stretch the tire. 275 on a 10" is too fat. go with a 245 if you can get one.

yeah I called them fenders

I think i'm going to cut the fender lips and stretch a 275 (which isn't much of a stretch at all)

These wheels fit my car great, but they were bought 3 years ago before I got this BBK. New wheels will be had when I get a wheel sponsorship soon.

I am going for a slightly stretched, flush wheel w/ fender look. Need to get an aggressive look for the time being. I don't want to modify my wheels, as I'll be selling them in a few months.
