ill be getting my fit this coming week. i have these volks ready to go on. ill be ordering skunk2 pro-c coilovers and pretty much tuck tires.

will i have to mod my fenders in order to fit? or can i fit these without having to mod them?

i feel like they would fit the rears without mod? but fronts seem like it may need work. can someone confirm? thanks!

I don't think so.........should be really nice....

it's a less aggressive fitment than this......so i'd give it a shot on stock fenders, and if you need to roll, it's no big deal

wait are you GE or GD?

also you're in Chicago, you need to be more active and be bff's with me, necos, and drkelso

I got the same spec rims and no rubbage on stock height, but I'm waiting to buy some coils and I think a mild fender roll is needed, atleast in the front, but don't quote me on this!!!

these will probably fit your GD perfectly, GD's seem to be able to fit a lot more aggressive wheels

coincidence that that is teh size te-37 im selling

2008 gd3
my rim specs at 17x7.5 +40 offset with 205/40/17
im lowered on progress springs...about 1 inch.
i have front spc camber bolts, set to about .75-1 degree negative camber.
i had to tuck the liner above the fender lip.
i rolled the front fenders. didnt really require it after tuckign the liner up and adding the camber....but i had the roller so figured why not.
the rear rubbed worse, adn still slightly rubs aftter modifyign it.
i cut out the rear bumpr clip. didnt roll the quarter panel. 99% of the time i have no one in the back of my car and i only rub on large dips on the highway. if there is some one in the back, it rubs considerably more.

check out my FS thread. theres some full car pics in the later posts

im most likely going to have my rears rolled and my front fenders cut/shaved to have as much clearance. i want my setup to be as flush as possible, so maybe even a few MM spacers. for sure, ill be tucking tires. hate wheel gaps..
