The car has Detroit Speed minitub kit, plus the fender lip was cut off and metal rod was welded in. We did this due to the previous owner doing a bad job at "cutting and bending" the inner lip up. The wheel sits far enough in that it shouldn't have any problems rubbing.

Truth be known I am sure the car will come up a little bit, it is just sitting on solid bars where the shocks mount.
