I just put on 19x8.5 rims on my 99LE Camry and now the back rubs against the fender and it hits the strut on the side,of the inside part of the rim. Can someone tell me how to fix the problem. This question is for the ones with bigger rims on their camry or if you have a answere to my problem, give it to me so i can resolve this before my tires are shredded up. Thank you!!!

Depending on how much rubbing you get against the strut, a 5-10mm Spacer would fix that but will probably rub the fender even more. So for the fender you might need to roll it.

do you also think that my struts and springs are worn out. i still have the factory ones on.

how do you roll a fender?

Roll the fenders and get a 5mm spacer. Sounds like you got the wrong size...

The cheapo fender roller involves a baseball bat...a proper fender roll requires a tool designed specifically for the purpose and a heat gun to prevent the paint from cracking.

Is there a "How to" on a fender roll on here, I searched but came up empty. If someone has done one before, can you break down the steps for me. Thanks ECale3 for the info....
