Rubbbing!!!! noooo!

[foomonkey525i]

I dont want to sound like an idiot, but what does rolling the fenders mean?

Well, you wouldn't have sounded like an idiot, except you asked after I had already and someone had already posted an explanation.

This picture should help explain it. Feel the lip under your fender. The tool rolls the lip back further, a bit at a time, so that the tire will not hit the lip.

thats the tool i used

Get the lower profile tire, no rolling needed.

Roll the fenders...

Gives you a more aggressive look anyhow, the extra flare looks good.

A lower profile tire will not address this problem, the width is the problem not height.


Do it!

thats the tool i used

along with the wrench you keep in your rear end.

Paying for newer tires is a little more pricy.

I rolled the fenders on my Mustang after putting 235s on the rear. I had the same problem, but rolling the fenders easily solved it. Not to hard to do if you just put yourself to it.

Screw springs dude, just weld the shocks at stock ride height. Rough roads won't be much fun but you'll have excellent road feel.

well rolling my fenders probably wouldnt have done anything because it was rubbing on the inside of the wheel well too so i think new tires were my best option

or new shocks.

Rolling fenders to fit 235's? Holy shit... those things must have tiny finders.

wow relax there mr. super mechanic know it all. Instead of calling me out, how about nicely saying that i'm not right. I'm here to learn also.

@epj3, yes my quarter panels are relatively small, the quarter panels are spec'd to fit 205s and nothing bigger.

New shocks could fix the rubbing problem - jut get a set of Gabriel HiJackers and pump em up to 150 psi. It'll sit just like a funny car, and you could put 22" 345/30s on her!!!!
