rolling fender or stiffer suspension???
I got from axis 275 (in the rear) that cause some rubbing on the itrees when i hit bumps and oither things on the road. I was told that one of the ways to avoid the problem is to roll the fender. another way is to get a stiffer suspension for the car ...... the question is if anyone else had that problem and which would be better.

I can see how you would rub at 275(offset depending) and I think rolling is still your best option.

You don't necessarily have to roll the fender from well to well. I just need to roll a 9" lip center top outwards. I'm on rear 18x9.5 +35 with 275/35/18. on Tein S-Techs.....Depends on your offset, tires and drop.
I just drank bleach.

Here is a DIY on rolling the fenders. http://www.mazda6tech.com/index.php?...id=17&Itemid=1
Hmmm heat gun to help minimize cracking of the paint. Would that actually help that much?
