Nah,I didn't think it was yours,and I didn't mean to come off that way.But it's just funny to me that somebody would keep running something that rediculous,and ruin their paint in the process.It really looks to me like it is some sort of badge of honor-a testament to his extreme dopeness and his crazy extreme fitment(or uh,something like that).....I don't mean to sound like the whole "stretched tires will cause you to wreck and die" crowd,but the fender is completely eating up that tire,and I could easily see it damaging it to the point of a blowout.Just really stupid IMO.

EDIT: This is the car. I'll probably make a thread later with the rest of the shoot of all three cars.

two different sets i've had

I do. my paint is ruined, its burned and peeling off from fitment, in the front and the rear, not actually a badge of honor, but it does show that your fitment is spot on. and especially that you aren't a little bitch by running air like most vw guys now. (no offense), the fender hitting the tire will not cause a blowout, i've had 3 sets of wheels where i completely rubbed a mm or two of tire square off and i had no problems. and i don't feel the need to get them sanded, painted and blended being that i'm going to keep having crazy fitting wheels so i'll keep burning through fenders. its mostly from rubbing when hitting bumps though. even the small ones

I still like to enjoy a curvy backroad in my car,so I had to get a little more agressive with the fender work,but I can bottom the car front and rear with no rubbing.Granted,my fitment doesn't look as extreme,and I know that's what you're going for is the look

not my car
I guess it's just two different points of view.My point of view of "spot on" fitment would be to work the fenders just a very,very little amount more,to give you a little more travel,and probably not change the appearance at all anyway.Either way,your tires don't look to be getting anything but scuffed,where (and maybe it's just the pic)the silver car looks to be really eating into the sidewall.

and to be honest, sometimes you just have no choice. personally i love to tell people my crazy low offset wheels without fenderwork, especially telling people that have fenderwork and run the same size and offset wheel. the first wheels i just posted were rubbing so bad at first that it would produce tire smoke down the street, and you can smell rubber for minutes at a time. to me, that just means i have great fitment, to others (most others) think i'm an idiot. but hey its just what i'm into
