Default Rubbing...

I was wondering what you call this, would it fix my problem, and where can I get one? You notice the fender sticking out more... I really don't want to roll my fenders at all but it really scares me when I hear that sound and I'm trying to take turns fast.

Pretty much they just added a fender flare to the car. However if you do that and do not run spacer to push the wheel out even to the fender, it looks really gay. I say just get stiffer shocks.

I like the agressive look the wider tires give. I've just seen some pictures of people who have rolled the fenders and its scary...

There over fenders and the whole point is for you to run crazy fat meaty tires! Most people cut there fender when you put an overfender on. Your best bet is to get a stiffer suspension setup like James said or roll the fenders. If you do it right you should be fine.

That pic actually looks like that would be the wide body kit... A very sexy addition but very expensive. If you try to roll the fender it will have to be done VERY carfully so that the paint isn't obscured.

I'd rather get coilovers and solve the problem... Less of a risk and a better look. I'll add it to my wish list.

How are coilovers going to help? I would think if you lower the car, youre just going to make the problem worse unless you dial in lots of neg camber.
