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)

 

im gonna attempt to roll them myself sometime this week, ill post up how it goes

 

Thanks man

 

A buddy of Mine rolled his came out good he jacked the car up put a baseball bat on top of the tire let the jack down a littlethen just rolled the baseball bat back and fourth. look's good

 

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.

 

yea it would but you may have to cut fender tabs, etc. i just rolled mine last week with a bat and it came out great and i dropped it on coilovers.

 

Did your paint crack rolling it that way? Was it hard to keep the roll even that way?

 

And wtf does an HPO offset mean? I have to wait until tomorow to call the place. I think we need a +42 or +48 right?

 

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????

 

no the paint didnt crack it was pretty easy to do it. my rims are a +40 offset. as you see in my avatar pic im pretty low now. i have a 1 finger gap all the way around.

 

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..

 

yea i did it that way too also i twisted it by hand. you should use a heat gun to soften the paint so it wont crack but i didnt use one but mine still didnt crack.

 

thanks for all the help diddy
