How much did you have to trim the inner fender well?

There is an area in the rear wheel well liner that will need to be trimmed. I’ve got a new wheel liner loose that I can get a picture if anybody needs it.

Those centers are gorgeous,it would be interesting to know what Fikse uses to
get that finish,that has got to be the best looking surface finish I’ve seen on a wheel. I’ve got a machine I made years ago I use to put a brushed finish on a wheel and using a green scuff pad with WD40 almost has the same look but not the sheen. Fikse is the only wheel I’ve ever seen that has this look,it’s what makes the wheel unique and stand out from the other wheel manufacturers out there.

As some additional info, when I first put even 325s on the rear, I did have a rubbing on the inner tire at the wheel well. Over abrupt dips, I could hear the wheel rub behind me. So 345s exacerbate that. However, I converted over to both the DRM trailing arm and rear camber brackets. These helped to nearly eliminate the rubbing altho it will happen. Previously I would get out of the car and have a slight rubber smell. That doesn’t happen any longer.

This is on the forward are on the liner,picture does help much you can get an idea where the spot is. On my car the rear tire will skin the inner backside of the liner occasionally but my car is lowered so it shouldn’t rub on a car at OEM height.

The area you need to trim is the squared off area opposite the hole for the bolt. I only trimmed off the edge that stuck out. This liner is for the left side.

The inner fender fenders on the later cars, have a few significant projections/nubs on the inside edge. These will cause clearance issues, also. On my 94, I used a little angle grinder to remove them. On my 90 & 91, the inner fenderwells didn't have the problem.
