so what exactly is "rolling the fenders"? I think I might have an idea, but I'm not sure how it's done.

Ok, so that's what I thought was done when you "roll" the fenders but that seems like a scary prospect to actually do. I would figure it would be very difficult to roll it evenly and keep the outer fender shape in tact.

And the same thing goes with "flaring". I would think the only way to effectively "flare" would be to buy a widebody kit. Am I right?

I have 265/35 18 g-forces on my rear WorkMeister tires... and I rub constantly on hard bumps and turns (lowered with Mugen N Zero) and I thought of rolling the rear wheel wells. With my newest trend of going more stock, I decided to get narrower tires (245/35 18) instead and keeping the body stock. Just my "stock" opinion...

Yeah.. the noises I get is clunking noises.. like the upper mounts aren't tight. But I rechecked everything, and they are all tight. I only get these noises when driving over rough pavement. Otherwise, everything is fine.

I lowered my car about 1 finger gap in the wheelwell. The rear nipples are barely visible. They are aligned with the upside down U shape of lower shock body.
