I know many within the G8 community are hesitant to go with wider meats in the rear due to the relatively narrow space provided by the G8's fender wells, etc. I found a great solution that I thought would be great to share. I found a great guy @ Richmann Motorsports located in Simi-Valley that does professional fender modifications for many performance BMW and car enthusiats throughout Socal. Richy did such a great, clean, and professional job that I felt compelled to share. He truly knows what he's doing and is one of the only shops I know of that has the experience to do this correctly.
I opted to have my fenders trimmed about an inch to accomodate my CCW's and 285 rubber. He removed about an inch of material, sanded it down super smooth and coated the finish with a rust protective enamel. Only a trained eye and a car lift would yield any hint that anything was done back there. I was nervous about the procedure... but now I am so satisfied! Here are some crappy cell phone pics for reference:
