I didn't understand why you had issues in the rear with the 215's on the EnkeiHarts. I had them on my P5 with Blues and S-Techs with plenty of space?
What have you done to your P5 today?

ok so im running 17x7 +45. with coilovers, and lowered enough, will the fender rub with a 215/40?
It will be close in the back. @ +45 you may be fine, but I'm not sure. @ +40 you will rub, lol. A mild fender roll and/or camber adjustment will fix it very easily, tho.

ok now my problem is that ive never rolled a fender nor do i know anyone who has the tool. any ideas?
Well, if you would have been on the forum like...3 weeks ago, I had a fender rolling tool in my garage! Evan is shipping it back today though.
I may buy one... quite useful.
1: heat gun to keep paint malleable.
2: rubber mallet
3: patience.
edit: 4: wood block to give you something to hold against the fender that won't damage it and that isn't your fingers...

damn it phen. how much was the rental?
This method works well. Just take your time and be patient. Slow and steady wins the race.
If you need more of a roll, you can cut recesses in the metal lip.
But, if you rush/hurry through it, you end up with ripples, paint cracks like I have from the previous owner. (pow)

Ok so I just heat it up nice and then hit the metal lip to bend it in?
Pretty much. It's pretty simple, but like I said. Slow & steady with the heat and the mallet. And I would do it on a nice hot summer day just to aid in the pliability of the metal & paint.
I got my quote back from the insurance adjuster, they quoted $600 before the deductible which is $250, so I decided to get a personal check. It doesn't matter because even if I went through the body shop I'd have to pay the $250 so it's basically the same thing as me eating it in a personal check.

i used a ball peen hammer on mine lol i used a metal saw to cut the lip at the very beginning and end so i could bend it back flat
then i heated it up, hit it and bent it back, working my way around the fender, its pretty even, u honestly cant even tell
some paint cracked off the inside of the lip, because i was using an actual hammer lol so i just sanded it and taped it off, then sprayed some rubberized undercoating on the inside, bam, good as new

So you get $350 cash money? Use some foam filler, touch up paint & a sticker to fix the bumper and buy some suspension goodies!
That's the way my brain works, haha. But my MP3 sure as hell isn't a show car.
