Wheel well modification

Hey everyone. With my upcoming setup I'm most likely going to have to do some liner trimming and the famous shaving the fender bracket. Because I like to plan ahead and because I do much better when I have visual cues, I was hoping some of you who have already done this could post up pictures of what your wheel well now looks like. I'll be honest and say that I did not search to see if a DIY was out there detailing the steps. If there is, don't flame me too much and please link me to it
Thanks for the help

what are you getting this time around?
also, what are you wheel and tire specs going to look like? I have actually modified my fender bracket and shaved off a bit of the fender lining in the rear.

lol the exact same wheels with the same specs as the ones I am selling

Are they gold, also?

But any who, if you plan on running a 275, then you will have to do minimal fender modifications. I guess the next question is, what tire brand are you going to be running?
The best tip I can give you is to simply BEND, and not cut the fender bracket. Use a plastic hammer, bend the bracket upwards, but at the same time hold with the palm of your hand the outside of the fender (behind the bracket, where the bumper and upper fender meet) so that you don't accidentally hit too hard and somehow manage to fudge up the alignment).

Fack.. its hard to explain this crap lol
A video would be nice, but too damn bad I already modified my car or I would film it.
