im sure there are tons of topiocs on this already out there. It depends on the tires you get, you'll probably have no modifications if you go with say a Sumitomo tire, or a Nitto 315. Its best to do the BFH mod and roll the fenders if you go with any ohter manufactures as they run wider.
No sheet metal work (like tubbing), at least not until you go to a 345mm tire.

I have 17x11 ZR1's +50mm offset with 315/35-17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's(the fattest 315 you can get).
All i had to do was BFH the inner fender. It wasnt even that bad. The metal bends fairly easy. Dont be scared of the BFH.
I did not need an adjustable panhard rod but i am going to get one because my rearend is not perfectly centered. I also dont need tubular LCA's but I am going to get a set just so i can have a little more clearance.
