negative camber kit.

well i am still having problems with my wheels rubbing so i called a shop in my area that speacializes in acura's and he told me thers not much i can do besides rolling the fender which he doesnt recommend and also he recommends getting a front negative camber kit. whats the better option? with the camber kit, wont i run through tires very often? i can get my fenders rolled for about $500 but that includes the paint being re-done if it chips.

Why do you keep asking the same question in different threads? You bought wheels that don't fit against a ton of advice. Your best option is to sell those and get some that fit.

It's not like you're going to listen to anything we might suggest anyway.

I'm sure that $50 paint job would look fantastic too.

switch your wheels...

for some reason, you choose not to exercise the best, logical option. sell them off in the black market so you can recoup some of your costs.

with the amount of damage/fixes you plan on doing in order to keep these wheels, costs of new wheels may not look that bad after all.

Painting a spoiler is a little different than painting a fender. You don't have to match and blend a spoiler.

Usually when you roll a fender it only chips and or cracks on the inner non-visible part of the lip IF YOU DO IT RIGHT so blending the fender is not an issue, shit back when we used the louisville slugger method lol we just used black trim paint too keep it from rusting, you cant see it so why waste your time.

So you stuck a Type-S badge on your TSX? Just get new rims dude. By the time you go thru the hassle of rolling your fenders, installing a negative camber kit, etc. It would have been, more beneficial and cost efficient to buy new rims or tires. Besides a negative camber kit in the front on a FWD car is not good for performance or any other cars that are not set up for drift. Just swallow it and get new rims. Should have done some research before you bough those rims/tires

easy there buddy, no need to get all emotional...changing my wheels are not an option unless i can get close to what i paid for them, which i probably wont so im not going to sell them, which i have stated before, plenty of times. i just asked a simple question, thats the entire purpose of the forums, there is no need for you to post any "advice" if you do not have any thing constructive to say.

I'm telling you by the time you roll your fenders for 500 bucks, you might as well take the hit on selling your rims and buying a new set. Why risk damage to your paint, getting your car repainted hurts the value of your vehicle. Believe me a car appraiser will be able to tell if you got your fenders touched up with paint. Hurts you in the long run. You gotta be smart man.

um, if you do it right, it doesn't chip or crack. so there shouldn't be any worry about repainting.

and damn! 500 for fender rolling?! i'd find another shop to go to, especially if that price is including respray because paint is gonna crack.
