Drill hole between these.

Pull out and insert bolt.

Bought me 5 mm or so.Perfect!

I could go more and it does not effect fit or finish of bumpercover or around headlights.

Disregard A pillar with panel sticking out.

I forgot bolt when I had fender off.

I will fix ASAP.

Perhaps this is an old known hack/trick?

If not just wanted to share and help.

Nice mod! Are those the Nankang NS2 tires? If so, how do you like them.

You know that you can direct link your pics here so people don't have to click on the link, right?

Rolling fenders is fairly popular here in SoCal given the number of stance cars.

Unrelated side note, I've always liked the roof rack look.

Yes.

Like these way,way better then the nitto neogens,and a bit better then pilot sports.

These ride smoother/softer even though they are smaller sidwall(45),and minor stretched compared to my others that were 50 sidewall.

The nittos seem like trash after riding on these.

The nittos are hockey puckish even in very warm weather.

Hands down a real nice tire...so far mind you.

I paid 360 CAD all in delivered to door.

My fenders are shaved instead of rolled.

That bolt trick I discovered did wonders.

No need to pull fenders.

I want to pull the rears though as they are shaved aswell

I do get rub highspeed dips.

I may try and pull out with fender roller(I own one)

Repainting and bodywork is no issue for me if need be.

Got a few compliments on the roofrack aswell.Its perfect for small kayak.
