Default Fender Rolling 19x11 rears

I am running 19x11 rims in the rear with 245-35-19 stretched tires . I used my Eastwood fender roller to make clearance for the tires but the rim and rear fenders are pretty much flush (when lowered a lot). I didn’t pull the fenders(just rolled) yet because looking at the tires, they seem to clear.

My question - Do i need to pull the fender enough so that when the suspension compresses to clearance will allow the rim to go passed the fender? If I don’t pull the fender out, I am worried if i put passengers in the rear the rims may come in contact with the fender.

Any recommendations?

Here is another shot without the tire to give you an idea how flush.

is this a pic of your rear fender? if so that doesn't look flush be hella poke... 11" in the rear is pretty wide. and from the looks of it if you hit a bump pretty bad you'll probably have some fender damage unless you do a pull or get a camber kit. looks good btw.

thats a 19x11+1 rim? why does something seem off here, I would think an ELEVEN +1 offset would stick out ALOT more than that


edit: nevermind, I thought it you meant +1 offset LOL

quick208 I think more along the lines of what dna said, either +25 or +28

Haha. I didn't mean +1 as the offset. That would be crazy on our cars. I was agreeing with what projectdna said.

What coilovers do you have? I hope the rears have at least a 10k spring rate....have the fenders pulled as much as possible or you will end up like me! . One giant bump was all it took and I bottomed out bad causing this-

This pic tells all. You need at least half an inch of pull to clear the wheel lip on the full bump otherwise be prepared to taco your fenders.
