So 5 years ago i used a dremmel to shave down my rear bumper bracket as well as cut my fender liner to run my +15 20x10.5 with 255/30/20s. Unfortunately this is a necessary step to avoid rubbing issues, i attempted to not modify anything but i could not even drive 10 feet without issues so back in the air she went. Sounds and looks way worse than it is but i don't mind this at all.

THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY US AT ALL!

I did this on my own to avoid rubbing. All others should always stick to our +32/45 245/35/20 & 285/30/20s.

So for 2013 I captured the process it took to remove the bracket as it was needed to be repeated to achieve the look I wanted, here is the brutal video LOL.


Weird but this makes me happy. No more rubs.


Stance to make her dance.

The things we do to achieve the stance look lol.

Ahhhh

No rear SPC kit used, all natural camber. Also because i now use Stance GR true coilovers, i will invest in SPL toe arms.

Bumper is still very secure with all additional clips and brackets, it's not going anywhere. The only thing that rubs is the bracket, i have gone years without it.

20 X 10.5 +45MM REAR. Will this set up fit a 2009 sedan s BBK? Thanks

You will need the +32 offset to clear. +38 is only for non sports Gs with NO BBK.

Glad to finally own a set of CV7s, lets see if I can wait another month to install them. Doubtful!

I've thought about going with black and I think black would look good. I've also considered gold but I'm not sure how that would look on a polished wheel. I think a deep royal blue would look good too. Tough decision lol.
