Thread: New rear struts? Or tires too wide. Rubbing issues

offset should be on one of the spokes of the rim on the inside, example: ET36

How exactly do you do this? Tried searching couldn't come up with anything.

I took mine to a shop. They put a jig on the hub with an adjustable roller that you slowly tighten as you roll and it rolls the inner lip of the tender in. I think I paid 50 bucks to have mine done

i own one of these tools. it's about $250 to buy one and worth it to some people.

in reality i think i do a better roll without the roller and just using a hammer. the key to the whole process is keeping the fenders HOT with a heat gun so that you don't chip and crack the paint.

the fender rolling tool is nice to finish off the fenders so that the roll is nice and even and when you need to pull the fenders.

I just put 255/45 17's on a few weeks ago. Stock struts and springs, rolled rear fenders, no rubbing even with 4 people in the car. My wheels had 235/55's on them when I got them and they rubbed all the time even with the fenders rolled so the height has more to do with it than the width. So basically like everyone else said, roll the fenders....run the meats.

255/45/17? Those gotta look short
