Is this setup possible without cutting my fenders and without any tire rub? I saw it on another r56 but it had fender flares so obviously the stock fenders were cut. Just wondering if this will work without any rubbing or anything as I’ll be getting the fender flares in the future.

That setup will not work without massive fender modifications.

What all would need to be done? I know I’d have to cut the fenders anyway to fit the fender flares but what else?

Not much aside from trimming the fenders front and rear up to the holes meant for the original plastic clips (to have enough suspension travel while keep things somewhat reversible) and attaching the arches of you choice.

Here is what you would be getting yourself into:

I have a set of RSI C6 arches in carbon with 17X9 +12F +17R 245/40. No pics, sorry.
