just got my lowered car back and...
i got the eibach pro kit and 18's (18X7.5 5-114.3 45HB) and 225/40/18 tires and on my way back to work from the body shop, took a right turn and the driver side rear tire rubbed. what the fuck should i do now? do i roll the fenders, if so, how do i do that?

it rubbed in the rear, right?
you need to have them rolled or grinded a little bit. maybe someone from FL will chime in and tell you where to get it done. it's not a big deal.

What offset 45?
yeah just get the fenders rolled. i have the same setup as you minus the subs in the back. thats why i passed on the subwoofer in the back because of the clearance issue.

I have my fenders rolled, but sometimes still catch an occasional rub. Brendan: the rear right is by far the corner that will give you the most trouble.
But my question is what have people done with the fender once you reach the rear bumper line? If I am not mistaken that is where the fender becomes more of a plastic material versus the metal that makes of most of the fender. Has anyone had to trim this area or done any cutting? If so any advice or pics? Thanks

Drat. I thought the +45 offset would alleviate the rub problem. I'm shopping for wheels to go w/comptech drop. Your S looks real nice. Mudflaps, wheels, shine, etc. Now update your signature so I know what wheels those are. Lookin' good.

More like 48mm+ for his setup. If you can take a look, you will notice the part that is rubbing on your tires is very thick.. very difficult to roll gently, I would not recommend a DIY on this. Take it to a body shop, so if they screw up and bent your body, they can fix it for you for free.

You probably don't need to roll them much.
I just took a crescent wrench and gently bent the lip on the fender well up... slowly worked from side to side until it was bent enough to get out of the way.
You could always try that first.
