So the other day I decided on pulling my front fenders out to fit a 15mm spacer. The spacer would work If I had coilovers and could stiffen the ride, but I dont have them yet. The first try without the pull the wheels would bang the fender. I went in with a heat gun, and a microfiber and pulled them out very slowly to get an even pull. No baseball bat or fender roller here! 
So now my front offset is a 20x9 +5 with still more room to go. Once I get coils I will be going into the negatives. Here are some pics I took after a needed wash. Next will be a rear pull and spacers.

Thanks guys! I appreciate all the comments, good or bad.
Im running a 225/35 on a 9 inch wheel with -2.5 camber
To each his own, I hate fat tires
Hell no! I plan on raising the rear a bit, maybe the front.
I was planning on just setting the stiffness to max
Not yet, Too lazy and the fronts still have life
Ya I just went ahead and pulled them without really thinking much, just went for it. No cracking or nothing, I made the fenders pretty hot with the heat gun, but not hot enough to burn it.
Its an M2 exhaust, its temporary, Wait till you see my new plan.
It tucked with no problem, But on turns there was no way.
Rear camber kit is next, probably set it to -3 or high negative 2s.

Well he's stretching for clearance. If you want to ride low and poke you're going to sacrifice the car ride but it's not even really that bad with the right coils. I don't see anything wrong DD a 245 on a 10.5.. I ran a 245 that ran true on a 11 and DD with no problems and that's with the crappy road in california.. car looks good bro! do what you got to do!

I know about stretching I've ran +5/15 before w that exact tires size and yes the ride is that bad in comparison w what I have now, after shredding my tire on the highway after a few hundred miles I just won't mess w that again! It sure looks good but for a daily driver it's just something I personally would never recomend again. He's going for looks so thats great cause it looks good just saying I know it's his DD so it's not the best option . Sacrificing tire life and riding around at risk is not my thing, GL to you brotha just my .02 !

Nice work on the DIY.
Is that the fresh ta def trunk? How is the fitment? Gaps around the edges? Can people still buy it?
Is that the stillen or ait roof spoiler? How is the fitment?
Need more high res pics

Must be your suspension then if you see it as that bad. Im guessing you road on Tanabe since you got a picture of your car with them. Were they coils or springs? If coils Tanabe has no dampening that might be a reason why your ride was ****.. now if they were just springs then you already knew why it rode like **** lol. shredding your tire was this the front or rear? I'm guessing their must of been another reason due to your tires getting shredded besides just stretching. He's getting coils and a camber kit so he's not sacrificing much.. Camber kit with toe back into spec he'll have his tire life. Riding at risk? of course if you're driving it like a 4x4.. low n slow that's how you do it.
