just purchased a new set of volk gt-s. front is 19x9.5 +17, rear is 19x10.5 +18.
wanna lower my car, will i have to roll the fenders? some say yea others say no, as long as its a mild drop. basically wanna know which springs will work before i purchase. thanks for you time guys.

 

anyone???

 

wheres the love???

 

yes, you will need to roll your fenders.
-GP-

 

Depends on what size tires you go with. I have the same wheels with a 285/35 rears and I did have to roll my fenders at stock height. If lowered I highly recommend that you do or else you'll hear a bang everytime you hit a dip.

 

rite now have 275/35 in the rear, will that require a fender roll? thinkin about h-techs....

 

I had 275/25/19 tires on my GTS (10.5 +18). When I dropped it, I was very close to rubbing. I had them rolled, and since there was more room, I dropped it even more

If you have them rolled, you will not rub on 275's, even if you adjust the camber back to spec.

 

All depends on tire size choices and what kind of tires, since they're not all the same, even in the same size.

 

275 or wider will need a roll

 

thanks guys, its just rolling my rear right fender is not a choice rite now. I was hit a while back and that fender was repaired with bond-o and repainted. Now no body shops will touch it cause it will crack. you guys know of any solutions? gotta slam this car but cant....appreciate all your responses.

 

You definitely need to roll your fenders if you're gonna drop the car with those offsets, I'd say even with a 275 tire.

Most body shops won't touch doing a fender roll even if your fender HADN'T been damaged previously. Question is, what do you want to do more? Slam your car, or worry about the paint cracking?

If you find someone that will use a wheel and do it properly and SLOWLY, you might get away with it without cracking the bondo.

 

i appreciate the reply, no my problem is finding someone that will touch the car...

 

I have those widths and offsets on a set of Volk GT-7s. My rears are rolled. I was rubbing at stock height on bumps....working on getting the car dropped now. GL. The other option is to cut the small lip off with a dremel (fender shaving).

 

i am dropped on tein s-tech with the exact same specs as you. my tires rub everytime i hit a dip, even when i drive slow. running 275/35 in the rear with about a finger gap, i am pretty sure i need to get mines rolled as well.
