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.

 

Rolled fenders, like they said.

 

yes they are 45



how do i roll them? is something i can do or do i have to take it somewhere?

 

you should take it to a body shop to do. just wait for someone in your area to reply. i'm pretty sure someone has done it.

 

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

 

i just got back from the shop again, they cut a little off the inside and MtBikR you are ride about the plastic. i still rubs, but not as bad as it was, they said they could take off more so i will go back this weekend.

here are some pics:

 

lookin good. did u install a camber kit too with your prokit? also those mudflaps look hot with the matching paint color i dont think ive ever seen those before... are those oem or what?

 

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.

 

btw, I really like those rims.

 

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.

 

Dude ...that's almost as nice as mine!!! J/K Very Clean!!!
Where in St.Pete are ya??? I am in Clearwater.
Send me a PM..I will hook ya up on the Fender Rolling place.

 

45 should be ok with the Compteh drop, the eibach pro kit is a little lower.

 

yes, i installed the camber kit from SPC in the rear. i got my body shop to paint the oem mud flaps - they look a lot better i think.

i will be washin it tonight so i will take good pics for ya'll

 

Looks a little too low in the back with that kit.
Take them off and buy the Comptech's, you'll be problem free.

 

2-12W3's, no wonder your $#it rides lower in the back.
