hey, hey, hey...I have +35/45 on my works and I got some concavity...
you know...if you squint real hard and I'm driving by you really fast and it's dark out. My wheels are SUPER concave!!!

LOL...

I know I'm a weirdo, but right now, since I'm sitting pretty flush, I can actually run my driver door mirror down and see the wheel spinning when I'm driving...

Safe, fuck no.
Cool, fuck yes and when rolling, I swear you can see the concave.

now i dont know where to go from here, leave them as is with fenders rolled or camber in and go a bit lower, it is a daily driver.
i also run summer tires so i dont really want a alignment or have to raise it everytime winter and summer hits.

Dr.CivicGuy - can you please give us some decent pictures from a non-"artistic" angle so we can actually see what is going on?

I'd like to give you praise, as they offer promise of looking nice, but the pictures provided are just aggravating.

I got mine today and these wheels are just pure sex in chromium. It looks like black, gunmetal, silver and gray at different angles. I am thinking I'll need to run 215 on these.

^ yes it will no reason for you to run nasty camber like that because its not like your offsets are "that" aggressive in the rear where you cant fix that with some camber arms and run a more normal camber

I know telling you this is redundant but take lots of pics. I've been trying to find a shop around here that is reasonably priced but no luck. Did you rent the tool locally or online?

Yeah, we prefer pics that offer accurate depictions and the preservation of proper ride integrity. That's OUR scene.

how much are they charging you to roll fenders?? Im sure someone local can do it for you cheap... i found a guy on craigslist out here that shaved my fenders instead of rolling for $80 looks good.... with rolling fenders on a TL they tent to bulge at the front and back since the fedners jog in and the roller will push those areas out more than the top just a lil FYI

Did you get em? Those are nice. Dude wanted $150 for the fenders granted the abck if half rolled and the fronts just have a little section.

no i didnt get these i just know they are coming out pretty soon.... they are going to have like a huge lip

18" staggered Front will have a 2.75" lip and rear a 4.25" lip!!

too bad no 19" sizes

20's will be ridiculous with a 3.25" front lip and a 5.25" rear lip!

yea $150 is a lot check your local area on azine and ask if anyone knows a good roller...

i opted for shaving/cuting off the inner beed that way i dont have any funky bulged in my fender it looks completely stock and i have more room than just rolling alone since i removed that entire inner bead.

its pretty easy i could have done it myself if i had known how he did it... just 4" angle grinder with metal blade cut it off then a grinding attachement to smooth it out and then a metal file to make sure to hit any burs

murph, rolling leaves an impressionable bead? From what I have felt on the front, there's just a tiny ass section to roll, yes? How was it shaved otherwise?
