Put the 17s on and they sit really close to the front fender. I took out the angle grinder to remove this sharp edge on the inside. Lots of room behind though. Is there like some modification that might have been done to the car to put the wheels further forward?

It's seems to be fine but it is real close. Think when I get the fenders reshaped I may have to remove a 1/2 inch of fender metal on the fornt.
