Yep, either start shopping for fender rollers or another set of wheels. You need a +50 in a 8/9" to not have to roll fenders. You are way off.

Lol! Those wont fit man unless you want the wheels to roll your fenders for you.

Your not gonna get concave fitments without doing surgery... If thats what your after this isnt the car for you.

10mm can be a huge difference when talking about wheel fitment. Are you sure your fenders aren't already rolled? I had the same RPF1's on my AP1 and even slightly stretched 215/45, 245/40 tires rubbed. I also tweaked my front fender when turning into a parking lot.

I got them. Deal was too good to pass up. Will have these things finished. As well as some other little touches to the S. 255/40's out back. None on fronts. I would be getting a new set, as the tires on the Enkeis are not worth moving over, fronts have camber, rears not a good size.





A point is that I havent actually checked the fenders out back, but my rear rubs on only the sharpest of corners, and biggest bumps. But despite what it looks like the the tire size out back currently is 225/50. I'll be losing a bit of sidewall. I'm going to 235/40 out back. Front is 225/45, might just go 215/40.

Where do u live??

I suggest asking the local crowd where they got their fenders rolled... Take a look and if not cleanly i suggest you do it.

225 on a 17x9 wheel is clearly not maximizing its full potential.

The blue car is yours right? If so your front fenders are already messed up from the tire grabbing the fender. As for the rubbing only on sharp turns yeah great you are just sitting on a time bomb before it messes something up worse than it already has. Plus your crap tire choice. Anyways I think I and many others have made the point abundantly clear that you need to roll your fenders but hey it is your car damage it as you like.

I didn't choose the tires sizes on there now. Which is why I'm going with a different size. I will also be having the guy that painted my AP2 bumper to fix fronts and roll rears flat, as he will be refinishing the wheels. All will be worked out.

Unfortunately once your tire grabs the front fender tab and yanks the lip down as shown, there is no 100% fix, it will never look like stock again. One more s2k with f@#ked up front fenders to add to the list. Lessons learned.

So you are rolling the fenders. Man that was a long painful path to what should have just been done before you even bought any set of wheels.

Wow.

Cant move my RPF1's locally for $700 with tires. Cincinnati, these people crack me up.

Anyway here's the look of the PIAA's



And I'll still have the RPF1's for when I want the played out look.
