BC Racing Coil Overs and Fender Rolling
Hey, I bought BC Racing coils with 12k/10k spring rate on Swift Springs. I have done a lot of research but haven't found a lot of info on clublexus (some on my.is).
That being said, I've come to the conclusion that I will need to roll my fenders. I'm sitting on 18"x 8" Konigs with 245/40** (type-O lol oops) tires and want to drop my car as much as possible without replacing control arms because I like how it looks (I don't care about anyone elses opinion on stance or ugly camber yadayada). First question, in order to avoid rub do I need to roll my fenders?
So, I know how to roll fenders but don't have that blue fender roller tool. I do have a magnificent heat gun.
Which brings me to my next question, anyone in the San Jose, CA area that has a fender roller. They are $75 on eBay but I'd be extremely happy and grateful if someone let me borrow one. Thanks guys!

1. What are your wheels' offsets? That will play a part in figuring out if you need to roll your fenders. I have 18x8 +38 with 225/40/18 up front, and I had to roll my fenders and remold my fender liners.
2. 245/45 is too tall. You want to try to keep your tire diameter as close to stock as you reasonably can. I have 245/35/18 in back on an 18x9 +38. 245/45 will throw off your speedometer and they will add to the likelihood of fender rubbing.

If I had bought the tires, I would have gotten smaller, trust me. I want to wear these out though and I'm not too sure about offset on these wheels neither. All in all, I'm going to rub; buying a fender roller off eBay and going to roll and pull. Going to show pics of the wheels on the stock suspension to give you an idea; but I'm positive I'm going to have to roll them. *sigh**
