You can try and trim the rest with a dremmel.

how much is it rolled though? im sure its not rolled to the point that you cant shave it.

this thread in the 3GS forum may be able to help you

if signs of rubbing are on the sidewall, it's the wheelwell fender edge.

if signs of rubbing are on the corner edge/outside shoulder of the tire, it's fender/bumper tab.

note that clearance also (and heavily) depends on your tire size. check the "will these wheels fit?" thread for fitment questions.

oh, really?

do tell.

i got it it rolled all the way to the point where it cant be rolled anymore because it will crush or weaken the fender thats what the guy told me so there's still a lil piece left sticking out from the fenders so i was wondering if i can jus go get that part shaved off from tommy from music box to have better clearance and no rubbing

btw, fender rolling usually pulls the fender out a slight hair, so you should have even more clearance.

based on personal experience, unless you're running some stupid-wide/-tall tires, it's the fender tabs that are rubbing.

what is the fender tab?

or maybe i just need an alignment? because i havent gotten one after i dropped it hahah :P

you need an alignment to save your tires, but it shouldn't have anything to do with wheelwell/fender clearance.

the fender tab is at the point where the fender meets the bumper assembly - one at each corner.

depending on your ride height, you may or may not need to make alterations to the fender tabs.

before anything else...

1. wheel specs (diameter, width, offset)
2. tire specs (treadwidth, aspect ratio, diameter)

i agree give your specs, you really dont wanna drop any lower without some others chiming in~. Take a turn being too aggressive/too low will damage your fenders = i didnt do it right/i dont know what im doing/ghetto~
