HT-Spec 1's Installed!! But Problems.....

Whats up guys? So I finished installing my HT-Spec 1's tonight, and I can't go as low as I want to .. Only because my tires are sticking out just about 1/4-1/2 inch too far, and won't allow my fender to tuck them .. Soo, I need options and opinions here.. Would y'all either 1. Roll/Pull the fender to make them fit or 2. Sell my tires, and buy new ones that will stretch and fit under the fender??

Let me know your opinions!

P.S. I'll have pictures tomorrow!

Roll fenders and/or run some negative camber.

I think I'm going to go with rolling the fenders, I just have to find somebody who will do it and it look good...

Yeah, me too, but wouldn't I eat through tires ridiculously fast by doing that? And it's not THAT bad, but bad enough to where I can't slam it and tuck my rear tires...

Are you having problems with the fronts or rears? or both? and what size tires and what size/offset wheels are you having problems with?

It's pretty much both.. I have the fronts tucked a little bit, but I'm afraid to do the back just yet until I figure out how I can do it..

Roll your rear fenders. What are the offsets of your wheels and what size tires do you have?

My rear specs are 18x8.5, 245/40/18, +25 in the rear, -1.1 degree of camber. Rear fenders are rolled and I still rub a bit. Running a 235 would most likely stop the rubbing.

I was actually waiting for you to reply lol.. Who rolled your fenders?? I live about 2.5 hours away from Raleigh, but since I'm on spring break ( ), I will definitely make the drive up there to get them rolled! Maybe I can pm you to get some info on it.. But would I have to get a camber kit??

I'll get the specs of the wheels and the tire size in a bit..
