Front fenders come rolled from the factory.

you wont have fender liners installed since the tabs that stick out will be rolled up and nothing to mount the liners too...

350z springs are a very conservative drop.

Do you have super aggressive offsets/wide wheels/huge tires?


^is that picture up to date? judging from that picture alone, it doesn't look like you'd rub.

what part is rubbing?

if you are rubbing on the fender liners, you can get rid of them, but watch out when wet out... you may want to protect your headlights

I dont know my offsets off hand, but there asanti forged wheels... 8.5 up front...with a 255/35/20 up front ( i had a 245/35/20 a few weeks ago same issue).... but yes aside from the 245/255 now tire up front the the pictures are up to date... and its only a rub going over dips in the road (happens alot) but only hits the outside part of the tire, practiclly shaves the tire on the outside edge.....
