Default PF01ss 17x9 ET 60 and front fenders

I read all the threads involving this wheel.

i looked at my car and it looks like it has been rolled front and rear. The front fender tabs I read is what needs to be pushed flat, specifically the “top 2 tabs”. I look at my fenders and it has the rear 3 tabs still up, no fender liners (car bought from another owner)

The front 3 tabs towards the front of the car are pushed flat.
Do I need to flatten the 3 rear tabs that are still up?

Can you take a picture of the part that has been rolled? It looks like they bent one tab on the driver side that they didn't touch on the passengers side. The tabs aren't what I have seen catch its the tiny lip between the 2 top tabs that the tire likes to grab. The 3 tabs you are asking about are never an issue. If your tire is rubbing those you have a lot more serious problems with the car. Hope you plan on buying liners for the car soon.

The tabs that take bitch clips need to be rolled. The two lower trailing ones that take screws you don't need to worry about. (I have 17x9 PF01 SS up front).

Ok cool that looks fine not the cleanest work but at least it is rolled flat. Really those last 3 tabs don't need to be rolled or bent and certainly not the 2 that use screws since those are really helpful in mounting the liner. The 3rd one I have stopped rolling since it is far enough away from the tire no matter the steering angle that it is never a problem. I roll the lip flat up to it though. I would just buy fender liners and call it a day in your case.

I have 17x9 +48 and only roll top 2 taps. Still put back the bottom 2 taps one in the front one in the back before 2 screws holes.

Just got my liners placed. The owner of shop said that with square set up certain parts of the liner will take a hit at full compression.

he is the owner of precision garage in las vegas and does drive s2000 on track
