What size tires are you running, you can get a lower profile of a tire like a 225. Or you can get a camber kit and add negative camber to the front so you don't rub.

I'm sure you could get your fenders rolled flat. Just find a good place that rolls them and take your car.

It's harder to roll the fenders in the front, cause there isn't a huge lip to roll in the front like the rear.... you could certainly try to roll anything that you can but probably won't help that much. I'd suggest getting a camber kit. You could also see if you can cut out any of the inside fender lining.

ok let me help the op out and wead out the INCORRECT info given above...

a camber kit WILL NOT ADD more negative camber IT WILL CORRECT IT

there is a tiny piece of metal on the fender about 4 inches before the fender meets the bumper, that is the spot that is rubbing on your tires...

you can trim it using a dremel... then you'd want to throw a coat of paint on the area you cut off, black works fine...

I am about to roll my front fenders and thought this might be a problem I was going to use a small bead of epoxy along the edge to hold it up..

I would like to hear what others have done for this..
