Default I have 295 on 18x10.5 wheels

I have SSR Comp with an offset of +43 with no rub in the rear. It does sound as if the offset is not optimum but rolling fenders is a minimal fix. The car is also lowered 1".

I rolled my own fender using rollyourfender.com. It cost about $50 + $25 (shipping). It was easy, and it took about an hour of your time (at most). Since the rental includes a heat gun, I had no paint cracking issues.

I did my rears a while back, but later realized that I need to pull my front fender out to fit 255-wide tires on 9.5 +22 offset wheels. If you lived in the Sacramento area, we could share the rental costs because I need to pull my front fenders out a little bit.

Wait, so you have to roll your FRONT fenders? I have a 19x9.5" +19 in the front and am currently running Toyo T1-R's (245/35/19). My next tire is going to be BFG KDW2 in 255/35/19. Will it rub if I dont roll? Also, do you have any suspension mods?

I'm going to be rolling my fenders soon, and think I'll give rollyourfender.com a shot. I'm wanting to do all four fenders while I have it. I talked to a local body shop, and they wanted $300 for just the REAR fenders. F*** that!!!

I used to run T1-S in 245/35/19 fitment, and had no problems. After those wore out, I put on SportConti II's in 255/35/19 fitment, and the tire rubs my front fenders on heavy loading. To mitigate this problem, I could run more camber up front since I have control arms, but that would just accelerate tire wear with the toe settings I have.

When I mean rolling the front fenders, I actually mean pulling the fenders out a little as opposed to actually bending the lip. The fender lip is already bent, as you probably already noticed. All I really need is another 2mm - 3mm of bending...nothing drastic at all.

I use hotchkis springs, which lower the car approx .75". If you still have stock springs, you'll probably be fine.

Thanks for the info. So you're rubbing on the outside portion, correct? How do you pull the front out? I'm also on Hotchkis, but I have a +19 on a 9.5" wheel, so mine's going to be interesting...

You can adjust the fender roller to push out as well as up. If you angle the roller at a steeper angle, you'll push the fender out. Yeah, at 9.5" +19, this should be really interesting!
