Any tips for cutting rear tabs

Just got my 19's put on today (pics coming tomorrow) with only minimal rubbing on the rear fender tabs.
Any posts with the best way to cut them? Maybe a DIY?

Nevermind, all done.
Tools required:
screwdriver, garden shears, and a razorblade.
No more rub.

I used a utility knife and a torch. Heat the blade with the torch and it slides right thru it. I call it a Redneck hot knife.

Cool

ooo nice! those remind me of the e63 rims. looks clean, especially with the kit. how do you like them? i was looking at the axis penta and axis seems to make pretty lightweight wheels. what differences are there between your new wheels and the stockies?

baby z, your car is tight! I am loving those Axis rims...pricey kit! What suspension you using and how low is front/back? I too am looking at Axis rims like yours, but all black. Same size though. Any ideas as to what I can expect with this little project? I'm installing an OEM lip kit as well...please send me an email as I cannot PM people yet, no post rating. thank you!!! dallas@ioav.com
