ATM I am super high on ST springs (wheel gap for days). I have a Z32 NA subframe and coilovers to come. I need advice from ppl running low body and wide tires plz. (Right now running 17x9.5 square but thinking about 18x11 RPF1s).

I flared the fender lip out instead of in. Then I cut above the pinch weld separating the outer 1/4 panel and the inner wheel well. After working the flare out I had to 'pie cut' the inner wheel well lip as I could not stretch the metal far enough to meet the inside 1/4 panel (now flared). I think I moved the wheel well up about an inch and a half…

My 2 questions:

Do you think this will be enough clearance inside the whel well?

Shoule I cut and flatten that hump on the outside upper part of the wheel well?

thx!

Well considering there is no identification if your care is a zenki or kouki nor front or rear fenders it is pretty hard to suggest anything.

Sounds like it was the rear on a kouki

If thats the case then 18x11 fit without any issues under rear stock kouki fenders
