fender rolling

[Maxpayne124]

anybody know a shop that rolls fenders? just put on my new rims and tires and since its lowered as well, through bumps and hard turns, the rear fenders will rub against the tires. the tires i just bought are falken azenis rt-615 which cost about $300 a piece (only performance tire i could get in the size i needed). if no shops around, anyone got a procedure for doing it themselves? thanks a bunch

What car, what size tires, what wheel offset?

Sometimes you can file the fenders down instead of rolling them if it's only rubbing a little on the sidewall of the tire.

1995 corolla 1.6l with Eibach pro-kit, motegi 15" mr-7 with +35 offset, tires are P205/50 R15 falken azenis rt-615

your offset is too wack. for corolla, offset is optimal between 40-45 on 15x6.5

Shit 35 offset with 205s is nasty...

I have 38 with 205s and they rubbed on the inner lip of the fender in the back, so I filed down a bit of that inner lip and painted over it.

I dunno how much yours rub... probably quite a bit more, especially with the drop. Does it rub the actualy top of the tire (you're gonna need to roll them), or just the sidewall (possibly could file down the fender or use a Dremel)?


P.S. Also just noticed... are you running Eibach Pro-Kit with stock struts? It's really no good for your struts and if you change for stiffer ones you'll rub less, although that won't solve the problem entirely.

ya im running on stock stuts (for the time being) but its rubbing on the sidewall area towards the top

I had the same problem on my AE92...rolla...took a grinder and cut slits into the fender arch and just knocked it back with a rubber mallet...works well....and this way the paint work does not crack when u bend it back...
