The 30mm offset in front is perfect because I barely have any room between tire and control arm. I am already losing an inch of wheel space because of the tire profiles and then it is dropped 1.3" in front so that is why I am rubbing. I tucked the liner under the metal tabs. When I roll the fender it should hold it in place nicely.

I need some suggestions for tire size. Right now I'm running Strasse forged SM8 20X10 +15 w 255s and 20X12 +0 w 305. I'm on BC BR coils with a SPL camber kit. They are kinda stretched (came that way) was curious what you would suggest. Not really wanting to run a ton of camber like I am now stretched

Can you stuff a 275/285 30 & 335/30 in the Z34 chassis?

I'll play with my wheel/tire calculator later. What are the oem wheel/tire sizes/offsets?
