+1 quite correct. if you want less gap bwtween the tire and the fender without lowering you need to either go with massively oversized tires that will totally throw off your speedometer/odometer/gas mileage, or do some body sculpting to bring the fenders closer to the tires.
That's kinda what I figures, but I wasn't sure... Thanks guys! I am sure this post will at the least help other people with my question.
