Trying to Fit some 255/18's on the rear 3 inch drop...
hello everyone, its been a LONG time since ive been on here asking 124 questions so here we go.
Q: how the hell do you guys fit 18inch mono's on the rear with 255's and a 3 inch drop??
if i hit any bumps i swear my rear fenders are gonna get destroyed..
i havent taken it out on the road yet, im honestly affraid to. even if i get the fenders rolled it's still gonna hit for sure. so im thinking i either have the wrong tire size , or i gotta wide body the rear and cut out the part of the fenders that's gonna be an issue.
i was looking online and i found this

i dont really wanna do the front fenders tho i think its a bit weird on the 124, but i love the rear end, without the whale tail tho, not a fan of that.
does anyone have any sugestions on what im doing whrong or what you've done ?? anything will help, ill attach pictures of my car in a lil while to give yall a better idea, thanks everyone hope to hear from all you 124 masters
i missed u guys haha

I'm running 255/40/18 on the rear in my wagon w/o a drop and it only rubs on hard cornering. Once these tires are worn out I'm gonna get something smaller to be honest with you as although they fit and look awesome, the hard cornering touching is not 100% perfect and I want perfect.

LOL.....do you know how much work that will take to make that fender kit fit? You'll need the sideskirts, lower cladding, rear bumper, cutting the quarterpanel, respraying pretty much half the car....that will result in a car looking like you didn't finish the kit. Ugh...
Just put a narrower tire on there.

I was thinking of buying those flares and re shaping them... maybe i'll do it but i dunno yet? since im buying another car.
