I'm getting lowered this weekend on eibach sportlines and am wondering if I should roll my fenders before i drop it or wait to see if I need to roll my rear fenders. My wheel specs are as follows:


FRONT: 19 X 9.5 +22offset
REAR: 19 X 11 +25offset
285 Rear tires.

 

slight roll or trim in the back and you should be fine. I use to run 19x9.5 +17 and 19x11 +17 with 285s in the back and I slightly rubbed. the offset is 8mm in from what I had. Just roll it before the drop.

 

I would just roll the back and pull the fronts so you won't have to worry about them anymore

 

you will want to have the rears rolled slightly. the fronts should be fine. i had a set of meisters in similar specs as yours and on 285s they would rub on the freeway.

 

How bad would it be if i didnt get them rolled immediatley after im lowered?

 

I had 19s in the rear and didnt need rolled but I can't remember what my offset is…I would wait a few days and see how bad you rub and then roll if you rub…

the bad thing it's the sidewalls of the tires that rub up against the edge of the fender so you're jeopardizing the integrity of the the tire's sidewall…so don't wait too long...

 

Totally depends on the tire sizing you are running, but if you have access to a fender roller I don't see why you wouldn't roll them anyway. It will give you more clearance than you have now, and that opens up some options for tire sizing and whatnot.

 

Wait until you see if a roll is needed. There is no need to risk your paint coming off unless you need it.

But do prepare yourself for doing the roll soon in case you do need it so you dont ruin your tires and get a blow out.

 

If you take your time, and take the necessary precautions, your paint should still be intact with a simple roll.

 

Should being the key word.

No reason to chance a trip to the body shop if you dont need the room for your tire/wheel setup.

 

+1, everything 'should' be fine...


I was very careful and took my time, I even set up space heaters aimed at the fenders about 1/2hr before I started, used a heat gun and still cracked in a few places.
