Question '95 Corolla DX Rims/Tires Question

Hey guys, I posted this question in the intro forum, but idk if anyone will respond there so I figured I'll post it here too...

I have a '95 Corolla DX and I want to put some bronze (or white, I haven't decided yet) Konig Lightspeed 15"x6.5" +38 offset rims with BFG G-Force 205/55R-15's on the car and am wondering if anyone knows whether or not I will run into fender rubbing problems with the oversized tires/wheel offset.

You'll be fine in regards to the offset and width of the wheels, and you should also be fine in regards to the tire size. If you do happen to experience any rubbing on the rears, you can simply roll the rear fenders. However, the wheels are only 6.5" wide so you should have enough clearance. Only one way to find out really

awesome

thanks for the fast reply!

If I do run into any problems can I just take my car to any local body shop to have the fenders rolled? And I'm assuming the procedure won't break my wallet

You're very welcome . Yep, you can take it to any local body shop and they'll be able to roll them professionally. Some people may suggest rolling them yourself with a baseball bat, but personally I'd recommend just spending about $40 and getting both sides rolled properly. They clamp the roller to your wheel hub and then heat the fender up to ensure the paint doesn't crack. You can actually rent the fender roller yourself, but if you've never done it before and care about the way your car looks, then leave it to the pros

For 40$ i might just have it done regardless and not find out the hard way... I think it will look better with the fenders rolled anyways.
