heres my damage..and i was running stock size 215/45/17 245/20/17 with 25mm spacers all around..lowered on megan street coilovers..and oem alignment(not a good idea)



i wanted some chipotle..well as i entered the parking lot entrance..it was a bit steep..and then i heard loud metal snapping and rubbing and my tire ended up destroying my fender..its fixed now..but thot i'd share with you guys my experience

oh yeah..my fenders were rolled..slightly pulled..inner lining was cut out..and bumper tabs relocated..before this happened..and it still did damage.

i LOVE my 25mm spacers on ap2v1 wheels tho..ill post pics up soon.
This is what I keep telling everyone about, but everyone ignores my posts
