Wheels: 8.5 +25 which...

ok... so i took tilt's advice and drove one wheel up a driveway... and guess what... THA DA!~

You guys can see how it rubs the tires... and... idk why for some reason... the fender's ripped outward?!

Originally....

For some reason the right wheel isn't rubbed as much, they are lowered on the same height (presumably, i'm lowered on HKS RS coilovers and my mechanics measured the ride height after installing them), and of same camber of -1.0


Now thing is... fronts are lower than the rear, but they are on -1.1 camber, and there's no rubbing whatsoever, the wheels clear the fenders pretty well.



So my question is... shud i roll my rear fenders? or shud i get it realigned and put -1.1/-1.2 camber on the rears?

 

Roll the fenders lol; it's a very easy fix.

The front fenders are different from the rear fenders (obviously) so it takes a little more to rub in front

 

^lol yeah, damn and i thought mine was bad, i still gotta roll my fenders

 

That will teach you to listen to Tilt ( just kidding )

He's King of the " conservative" wheel fitment

You need a good roll and you will be fine....

 

lol... thought so... sigh... i did some research before i got the 8.5 +25 and gathered that it wuddn't rub and won't require any fender mods... but obviously my research wasn't enuff...

and dozer....... i thought u said ur wheels didn't rub, u hv +25 at the back too rite? lol... u were one of the sources when i was doing my research haha

lol... thx

my mechanic doesn't have the fender roller... he mentioned sth abt baseball bat rolling... hm... uh... would it work?

 

Get a proper roller....

I have seen guys do a great job with a bat...but usually it sucks

A roller is almost idiot proof........

 

$25-50 a fender from a shop. I think its $50 to rent a roller?

 

^ bah... i wish there was a shop here in Florida that does that. I've searched quite a bit and it seems that i have no luck in Central Florida

 

ask brice im sure he will know

 

Rollyourfender.com

^$50 rental.

 

^thats fckin great

 

yea... don't think that's gonna be an option though... cuz i don't really hv the space nor a heat gun to do it... thx thou

lol thx for reminding me that! i almost forgot... just did that thx

 

*sigh*

A heat gun is included in the rental package (if you would have clicked teh link )

And for space, all you need to be able to do is take the wheel off? If you can open your door to get in your car you have plenty of room. Quit being lazy buddy!

 

that was disappointing.

 

here i was thinkin' it was something serious.......lol

 

gah.. sry abt that.. i looked into that site when i first got the rubbing issue 4 months ago... but then again... the cord of the heat gun won't be long enuff... i live on a 3rd floor apartment... but nways..
thanks guys
i found a place where i can do fender rolls in orlando from brice.
thanks!

 

Heh, I think he was saying it in a positive light though, he did find where the issue lies and it will be forever fixed. This little trick surely didn't bend up the lip of the fender like that.

That's the reason I hate giving advice on specs of wheels, there's almost a liability factor.

Congrats on finding a place to roll 'em dezau!

 

LOL! i was gonna reply in ur thread to give u a link to this thread.

and yea... i do agree on the advice part... but o well... i think 8.5 +25 is my limit of "aggressiveness" lol



edit. Got it done for $105 on both rears, a lil pricy, but o well..
