Default Fender hits my slicks

225/50/15 on rota concaves, what are some ideas so the fenders and bumper don't grab? It's on an ek, and I don't really want to lift the suspension more than it is. IDEAS

Tires are too big and the wheel offset is too negative... so install shorter tires and the proper offset wheels and you won't rub the fenders.

Flares is an option. Or, just raise the car up. My car is set up to run slicks and it's damn near raised all the way up in the front. It's corner balanced though....function over form. With street tires on it has a barely noticeable up rake in the front but with slicks it sits level.

So what do you want? MoAr lOw, or to go fast?

my setup is 700hp, but I don't want to be riding with the front up all the time

Is your car corner balanced?

If you don't want to raise the car up or change your current wheels, then the only option are larger fenders or flares. Is what it is.

Get metalic fenders welded on your fenders.
then it will need painting. But it will be the best solution.
Find a shop that knows what its doing and youll be golden.
