Rubbing on fenders

[VinnieBeachbum]

hey guys I have 225/40 18's on 18x7.5 inch rims and I am dropped. I am just wondering if rolling the fenders works for this set up or am I SOL and need to raise the back alittle bit?

oops.

yeah I just got some new wheels and I started rubbing too. I was going to try the baseball bat thing. seems like the trick is to do a littil at a time and do it in the hot sun. Ill post some pics.... well if it turns out good

 

[VinnieBeachbum]

what size rims/tires and what drop?

 

[ariana]

What's the offset?

 

[VinnieBeachbum]

42mm for me

 

[iracemine]

unfortunately 40 for me. but I only have a 7" rim. I new it was going to be close, money talks and the rota slipstreams I got for about $100 bucks each so..... I wonder if walmarts got a wood bat.(spin)

oh and 225/45/15

Mine are 19"s but 7"wide with a 48 offset, I have a 1.8" drop also. I don't have any problems.

i have the wooden bat if you need one!! good luck, we've used a heat gun and rubber mallet, works okay!

i'm running a 18x8 with a 225/40 with a +38 offset and I am not rubbing. but I also used the fender rolling tool to roll my fender not some bat where i could **** my fender up.

Fender rolling did the trick. Nice and sexy. no rub. uber fast
