Rolling your fender?

[jacknotjil]

Hey guys whats up. I need to get my rear fenders rolled for my new tires and rims, but I cant find anyplace to get it done, I live in north Jersey, 10 minutes from NYC, can anybody help me?

Also, Ive been to 3 shops and no shop can mount my tires because supposidly they're too low profile? does that make any sense?

So do you need your fenders rolled or your tires mounted?

[jacknotjil]

I need both done

[BrokenVert]

What's the tire size? Wheel size and offset?

[jacknotjil]

Volk TE37 18x8.5 5x120 33mm --tire size 225/40 FRONT
18x9.5 5x120 33mm --tire size 255/35 REAR

You'll be rubbing, even with an agressive roll and cutting.

Any decent tire shop should be able to mount those tire sizes tho.

really? even if i roll? u positive?

you will need to cut or shave the fenders, there's no other way. I have et 45 all around and I had to roll all 4. get them cut or negative camber to be safe. either way you need to do some fender work.... et33 is way too aggressive.. .

Do you has the 8.5 upfront and 9.5 rear? I was looking at those but was borderline on the fitment

Yeah they are super agressive for this car. Sub et 45 really doesn't fit all that well

OP - I would check with some local body shops. They should be able to roll or cut your fenders to fit that massive wheels/rubber.

8.5 et45 and 9.5 et45 i rolled to the max, I still rub depending on the situation but usually I'm fine. 235 and 255.

OP- try 215 and 245 tires then do a roll or cut. see how that fits. also depends on your drop too.

I'm super sorry to thread jack but do you rub on the front wheels or the rear?

[1013mm]

dont be afraid of fender rolling guys! if you get someone who knows what he or she is doing then you will be 100% fine.

anyway i have 235 up front so that might be the problem why im still rubbing a little. i might switch to 225 next time.... i'm fine with my setup now.

[BrokenVert]

I'm just wondering if I could get 4 8.5 et 45 wheels and do like a 245/35 square setup

[1013mm]

front will give you problems. just go stagg. its what our cars need anyway..

with that much tire i would recommend camber but thats $$$

I had my fenders just slightly rolled to fit a 17x8.5 et 44. I has them done at Camber-toe by Matt. He did a great job and I would recommend talking with him. The shop is just a little ways outside NYC in long island.

what does et 45 stand for? sorry im not great with tires and rims. This is all i know:

My stock configuration was:

245/35/18x8.5 rear
215/40/18x7.5 front

My new configuration is:

255/35/18x9.5 rear
225/40/18x8.5 front

whats the difference? and how do you know if it will rub bcuz there's mad space between my tires, and i was told the tires would stretch more in that setting so they would run more low profile. Can anyone explain?

[BrokenVert]

Heres a good explaination of wheel offset (what et 30 or et 45 means)

[BrokenVert]

On the stock wheels there is a lot of extra space to deal with and you won't have any issues with those size tires. I run a 225/40 front and a 255/35 rear on my stockers.

But on the aftermarket wheel that you're talking about those sizes will create issues

[jacknotjil]

ok i read the link, funny thing is i ordered my tires from tire rack and they were the ones who recommended my tire setting for the one series.

[jacknotjil]

how does it create an issue? because the rims are wider?
