about 5 months after i bought these rims, my fenders pop out by the edge on both sides. My car is on 20 inch rims and dropped 1.5 inches, with h&r springs.

How wide is the wheel? Go a size or two down. Have the fenders rolled or cut so they don't get caught on the tires. And be careful going up driveways or making U-turns. This happens when you go up something and the suspension compresses, making the tire eat your fender.Originally Posted by BIGVIC23

245-30-20.. better yet... 235's
I have read many post that 35 series on 20's do cause issues with rubbing.

Ouch! I feel your pain.... I had the same results when I hit a big dip with my first set of 20's. A 225/35/20 would probably solve that problem.
i did the EXACT same thing the first night i got my rims, and im lowered on coilovers.
while with the wheel cranked to one side, trying to enter a parking lot slowly, the tire caught onto the fender lip plastic edge and pulled it out like that. wasnt as severe but still painful enough that i had to do a quick fix in the parking lot with the steering wheel "club" wedged between tire and fender pushing it back in.
next day, removed it, and rolled the front fenders.

yeah im on 19s not 20s but dont have loads of stretch, just 235/35 on 9". got my fenders rolled but going up & down driveways on lock the front tyres rub both sides but since they are rolled its just rubbing the paint off underneath and doesnt catch.

Yep, tires but not only that, when you go up or down a driveway, go slow and don't turn all the way...get your angle right. That's what really causes it to bend out that way.
edit: just saw its not even rolled....roll them bad boys
