yeah that does kinda suck that they arent as beefy wide as you hoped but at least you got wheels with a high enough offset that you can play around with moving it inward. good luck on the setup, are those new volks they look sick! (superlight yes yes)

More pics from my install:
Front fender linings trimmed and relocated. The 15 mm arch drop of the Foresight/Shine fenders really helps in having this land nicely because the liner rolls down and out if you pivot it about the bottom edge. It took a lot of shaving to fit right but came out clean so I’m happy.
Bolts relocated
Staples relocated (note this is built in two pieces and the seam is stapled. I only altered the outer portion of the liner)
Nice and tight to the lip (which I already shaved down to about a ¼” during install)
9mm spacers (total front offset +26)
~3mm clear to the coilover (255/40r17 tires on 17x9 wheels)
Final stance

yes. not painted yet though.
18x10 +11 with 1/4 inch spacer. 235/30R18 (not 40). I had 15mm spacer before but had issues with turning to full lock with all the vert's extra bracing.... haha.

This thread and the first batch of pictures in the thread have an OEM skirt by the looks of it.Pics aren't focused on the skirt/fender area but looks to fit decent with one pic showing a fairly small gap where the skirt wraps around the wheel well opening at the top molding area. Doesn't look like a issue,depending on how picky you are in fitment.
