My new rims scuff the fenders when I hot a bump so I was wondering if anyone knew how to roll the fenders so the wheels won't scare the hell out of me!? Anyone done it?

I couldn't find anybody to roll mine in Houston and had them cut with an air saw (under $100) - in your area you should be able to get them rolled cheap bro!

How low did you go? I went down about 2" on tanabe's and on 20's and didn't have a problem. Just cut out some plastic in front of the driver's side wheel and moved the windsheild washer reservoir. Rarely rubs, only on hard left or rights when parking. If you must you can use a dremel tool with a fiberglass reinforced wheel. You don't even have to take the tire off. Just tape the fender with 2-3 layers of tape or thin cardboard so you don't damage the paint.

It is not so much when the wheel turns, that is fine, it is just when I go say over a large dip the wheel goes directly up and rubs the lining that goes around the fender-wheel-lip. If the lip was only about 1/2 inch further out it should no longer be a prob. I have heard of people doing it with a pipe and rolling it around the wheel. Anyone?

I've personally done the pipe technique a little bit but BE SURE to remove the screws that hold your fender lining to the fender, they WILL, repeat, they WILL put a dent and/or crack in your paint if you roll the pipe against them, I have experienced this personally.

Cool, thanks! I found a few tutorials on other cars how they do it and it sounds ok. I will definitely remove the screws!!!

Are you sure it's not the suspension? Mine did that when I wasn't lowered at all. The strut was not working. Then I went lower with tanabe and tokico and it never rubs when I am driving only on fully turned to the left or right when parking and it's not to bad.

I have the same problem but i put the new tokico struct with tanabe spring together and using 98 LS rims but it still rub tire(on turn, bump/dip and onto the driveway). I tried it very slow and side way to turn onto the driveway but it is still scratching my tow hook under the car.

Yes I did my own and added bolts into plastic wheel wells for extra room.

Good idea, screw them up a little higher so they don't sag/rub.
