![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I just bought some HP Racing Lightning SS 18x8 rims. The offset on the website said HPO, yet they were still listed when I broke the selections down to fit our car. Now that I got them on and all that good stuff when ever I take a turn even moderately sharp or if it has a bump in it the metal part of the wheelwell rubs and makes this God aweful sound. So my question is would I be better off just raising the rear coilovers a tad or rolling the fenders?? About how much would I be looking at to roll them? Would a rear camber kit resolve this? (I don't think so...) Thanks for all your help. About rolling them if anybody knows a good reputable shop in the central valley hook me up! (Allout)

would rolling the fenders fix the rubbing issue? It only rubs when I go around corners from the body lean, or going slowly over a speed bump I'll hear it a little.

So I just found out that the offset is +38 on my rims....will rolling the fenders cure my little problem of the rubs? IF not I guess I could just raise the coil overs a tad to compensate????

You said you did yours w/ a bat? How's you go about doing it that way? I just watched a video on google and the guy took a piece of pipe and put it in the front of the tire to where it touches the fender lip then put the car in reverse and slowly went backwards and the tire did all the work....then again in the end it showed his paint all jacked up, I'm sure I could be careful..
