if you really need help with this take the wheel and act like your gonna put it on with the other wheels off then take and start knockin the hell out of whatever the wheels hit as far as the inner fender cause some cars i know need the hell knocked out of em and some just need a few "love taps" and then they fit. as far as what to watch out for... just dont get to happy with the hammer there bud lol and you may have to grind down the bumb stops also cause i heard that as well that some need em and some dont so dont go and do the BFH mod then throw em on and expect that to be all so you dont end up cuttin up your tires
