I had to hammer in the inner fenders, roll the fender lips, adjustable LCA's and grind the BEJESUS out of the calipers. Didn't touch the bumpstop or rear bumper.

I didn't roll my fender lips, or do any trimming. But I did cut my bumpstops off, and pound pretty hard on the inner fenders. 15x10 with 7.5 backspace. No grinding, No spacers.
