I realized lots of it had to do with the place I had the coilovers installed. Basically the springs were compressed WAY too much so the wheels had little travel. You know how when you get your car on the lift and the wheels hang and there's a gap? Mine didn't have that, so that was part of the problem.

As for the fenders theyre' a lil worse than they were before, but the paint has chipped off quite a bit on one side (not enough heat, but I didn't mind because the paint was already chipped off).

If I had 19's I'd be fine with these offsets. I'm actually considering one of several options, depending on cost.

1. Downgrade to 19's with same offset
2. Stick with 20's, go with higher offset
3. Cut the inner fender and add 3" or so to the outer fender

That's if I don't have any problems anymore. Also depends on how quick I'm having to go through tires. I already have to flip them after a couple months just because I burned away so much rubber from rubbing and having to burn out to get in and out of areas, but that should be solved now. I'd say it's worth it, but it's not worth it. Mainly a hassle.

I say you went too far and messed up too much to start over. Get something done ASAP but stick to your current setup if you can.

Lol pretty much. I mean right now it seems cool. I guess i'm more worried about the tires now more than anything since the wheels seem like there is no more scraping. Need people in the car to test that out.

My 225's in the rear were lasting but these 235's didnt but Im guessing it had to do with all the burning out i had to do.

Unless you are very skilled with sheet metal there's no way you're smoothing wavy fenders especially with spot welds chillin there lol
