Roll fender
Hi guys, I have read before that you guys have a rolled fender day before or something. Maybe I was wrong. I wonder if you guys can recommend a place or anywhere I can roll the fenders
Thanks

Finding tire/wheel combo that fit for the rear isn't too hard... selection is limited, but it's out there....
it's the fronts that are a pain to deal with. i would go so far was to say if you're running 18s and you got 225s up there, you gonna rub guaranteed. i'd totally fit a 215, but no one makes a 215 tire in 18s that i know of. if i had 17s, i'd def go with 215 to ensure no front rubbage.
the fronts are next to impossible to roll for little money. you need someone to flare that, bend that, and then repaint that cuz the paint will crack.

I believe a lot of people went in on a fender roller. You can barrow it from the group for like ~$37. I have no idea who has it though.

i used their fender roller. came out great in the back. I couldnt get the fronts done with it though, you just gotta mess with the fender liner a lil to get some more clearance.
I had 225's in front on my SSR comps and everything was fine, but when I switched to Volk LE37's in 18" the 225's rubbed. I got 215 18's BFG KDW's for the front to replace them and now they fit great with no rubbing on the crap ass offset of the volks

and you don't have to roll the rears if you're trying to fit the very common 9.5" 55+ or so offset that the BBS LM, SSRGT3/comps, and OZ IIIs use... you do have to trim off the screw washer piece and that general area.
i was slammed and ran the LMs, OZ IIIs that have the same offset/width just like the SSRs in the rears... and it cleared just fine except for that screw part
