10" Wheel on Front, Clearance?

Hey guys, I've got Todoroki fenders on the way and 18x10 +15 wheels to be fitted on, just wondering, I got told that you have to cut a part in the front wheel wells to fit that size wheel, or you want be able to steer fully, anyone have a guide/pictures on what exactly I need to be cutting?

Thanks

Usually around the frame rail behind the front wheel. The frame rail has excess material that can but hammered down or cut and a plate welded/reboxed. I've seen it on drift cars(extreme angles), so I am not 100% sure if that is the problem in your situation.

I run 18X10 +40 on stock fenders. It will highly depend on car height. I was lower before and used to rub a lot. Now the car sits higher, and I only rub at the very last end of going full lock on steering.

I think with +15 offset you should be fine steering wise.
