Well no easily but the wheel will sit just inside of the gaurd and you wont/shouldn't rub.
How do i know this?
Well i'll get a photo of my mangled gaurd up soon, but just for shits an giggles (and to tet if a 0 offset rim would fit) i put my 25mm spacers on the front of my car with my +25 rims. I found that yes the wheel would rub but only when turning and if you dont have rock hard suspension
But i flipped out the inner lip thingy and rolled it with just a bit of 2inch exhaust pipe off cut. The gaurd, if it was smooth, looks really nice and fits the wheels nicely ie they are filled.
My guard on the other hand is not smooth and looks terrible/mangled, but hey at least its only one of them and at least i know that my rim of choice will fit when i do get it eventually. Plus it suits the look of rest of my car

Yeah, I reckon the "fold out the lip" method works well and looks good for a car with squarish lines, but on an NA I've always thought that it would clash with the rounded organic shape of the body....it'd be interesting to see your pics....
