Rubbing

So after having the new rims on for a week now, I'm noticing that my rear tires are rubbing ever so slightly (mostly when I'm backing out of my drive way). So should I just roll the fenders, run more negative camber, raise the rear up a bit and get a realignment or just live with it?

Ok so it seems rolling is the answer.

I'm gonna do some searching on it now, but is that a pretty straight forward process? Or would someone want to volunteer some help?

How much did it cost to roll yours, I just got a quote of $75 per fender.

I can roll a fender in about 15 minutes with a rubber mallot and a heat gun. I wish I could get $75 for both fenders to roll them.

Sean does a great job.

He said he'd do both fenders for $75. That's $75 cheaper than the bid you just got and everyone know Sean will do a good job!

Use some of the money you'll save to drive over to Orlando and back...

I see.... I misread it. I didn't know he was offering $75 for both fenders, I thought he was just being sarcstic. haha My bad.

I thought it over today and I think I'm just going to raise it up 1/8 of an inch until I have time to make it up to Orlando since I'm going to be really busy this month.
