i was wondering if any one knew or any one does fender rolling because i am very desperate to get my fenders rolled. Any help would be great because i am sick of having my tires rub every bump i hit. Thanks alot.

 

probably won't get much of a response in the general forum, try the regional forums and find whatever is closest to where you live

 

Moved to New England forum.

What size tyres are you using ?

Also Subaru's require a rather bizaar wheel rim offset, so if you are running the wrong rims, perhaps thats why you are rubbing so much.

Check Out Fitz's site : http://www.flat4racing.com I think he has fairly extensive experiance with fender lip modifications.

 

I have the right offset wheels it is just that they are wide and everytime i hit a good bump, they rub. i know if i can get someone to roll my fenders i will definately be all set.

 

Ha ha that thing is sick!!!!!!! I would rather have someone professional do it because i definately do not have the patience.

 

What's the diameter, width, and offset of the wheels you're running? Tire Size? Suspension mods?

Thanks for the props. Unfortunately, I wish the modification had been as simple as rolling fenders.... although there were times I was looking to take a louisville slugger to the car.....

I have 17x8.5 with a 43+ offset. right now i have 255/45/17 tires on them but am definately thinking bout getting rid of those and putting a smaller tire. probably like a 245/40/17. I just don't know what to do with the tires that i have now cause they are brand new with only 30-40 miles on them. i haven't been driving my car cause i don't wanna screw anything up.

 

What brand/model are the tires?

I'll get back to you tomorrow on the those rim specs.

So I threw the rims dimensions you gave me into Autocad. The wider rims coupled with the +43 offset result in the face of the rim being 1.14 inches closer to the fender and 0.36 inches closer to the strut. That may be pushing it a little bit, especially on the fender side. On the tire subject, a 255 is approximately an inch wider than a 225 when talking sectional width. There are multiple things that play into that including tire model/brand, rim width, and even pressure that the tires are being run at, but for shwag purposes, it's accurate enough. That being said, a Pirelli PZERO Asimetrico in a 255/45/17 has a 9.1 inch sectional width, about 1/2 an inch wider than your rims, 1/4 of an inch on each side of the rim... putting you almost 1.4 inches closer to the fender.

These things have to rubbing like a mother, especially if you're lowered through suspension modifications at all.

i think i might be all set if i get a smaller tire i just don't know what size to get.

 

Best of luck to you.
