Will it work!?

So, I just got my Megan EZs delivered today. But I'm kinda hesitant to put them on... Reason being is my wheels, they poke just a little bit, nothing extremely major. but I'm afraid if I go for an aggressive drop my tires will just push up on my fenders. I'm going to roll the rears (which I will be needing advise on where to start and how much to roll) to clear these wheels, anyways like I was saying, will the wheels camber in a little, or enough for me to clear the fenders after lowering the car? I hope it does! I don't want to have to turn back to my oem wheels for an upcoming car show!

And is there a tutorial or any of you guys thats done it before and could give me advice for 2nd gen fender rolling? where to start, where to end. I'm Scared to mess up my fenders, i like to look at a references before I start doing anything myself!

Im running G35 19 Rays
Front- 19x8.0 +30mm (235/35/19)
Back- 19x8.5 +33mm (265/35/19)

Pics of poke-

Front-




Rears-




What happens when you dont roll fenders :'(
Super mega rubbing, and poopy fenders...


Thanks guys!

Lowering will give you some neg camber and bring the wheels in a little. You can always play with the height as well. Look at Defcon's car, with as or slightly more aggressive offsets and Tein S-Techs (1.5ish inch drop), I don't think he's rubbing.

As for fender rolling get it done professionally, it's worth the money, especially if you've never done it before.

rims itself are not that aggressive whats makes me wonder is why someone would put 265 on a 8.5 rims my suggestion is to get 245 tires drop the car roll the back fenders and enjoy every mile in it

Haha, I got these from a friend that ran em on his 240. He wanted to clear his gap so he got 265 tires. He ran coils in the front but was to broke so he ran springs in the back lol... odd i know. I would change back to 245s but not really trying to spend any more money haha, I would be fine running these though right?

I see you rubbing with a drop and rolled. Those 265 are to wide. How low do you plan to go. I say more then 1.5” and your rubbing. I would be running a 215 up front and a 225 in The rear.

you will need some serious fender work on the back to make them fit or run some negative camber or in worst case both

I mean yeah, im going to be rolling the back like paper thin. But you know its a brand new car, I'm just looking to do minimal body work as possible ya know? dont wanna pull my fenders just yet... The fronts should be okay though?? No rolling in the front, i think its good enough up there.

Like ed mentioned, It seems odd to me your poking so much with that sizing..
Heres my old set up 19x8 +38 with no lowering on 245/35/19. Not the best pic but clearly no pokage compared to your 8.5 +33
