Hello all,

I have 18x9.5 on the rears with a +15 offset. I had Falken FK-451's 275/40/18 tires and they did not rub.

I just installed some Avon M500. Same size, but now the wheels are rubbing. Researching some more, it looks like the contact patch for the Avon's are every so slightly wider even though the tires are exactly the same size.

Therefore, it looks like I'm going to have to roll my fenders. I'm wondering if there is some place around the DFW area to professionally roll my fenders. Thanks.

 

I am curious too. I live in Austin but would like to know because I do not know anyone here that does it.

 

I have 19 by 9.5 in front and 19 by 10.5 in the back with a 295 on the rear, I might have to roll mine alittle

 

I couldn't find any fender rolling around DFW and the rubbing was getting really annoying.

I put some tape on the fender lip and drove around for a bit. After coming home I could see exactly where the tire was rubbing the fender. So I took a dremel and cutting wheel and went at it. I was so nervous cutting into my G.

I ended up cutting about a quarter inch off the fender. I used touch up paint on the cut to prevent rusting. No more rubbing now. Fender still looks good. Hopefully I don't have to worry about rubbing when I lower the car.

 

I might be able to help you out....I am in Austin and work for a body shop....hit me up if you're interested...

 

I might be able to help you out...I know someone who works in a body shop in Plano....send me a PM if you are interested...

 

Im looking for something local (DFW) too, and might go this rout if I still cant find anyone.

Anyone have any bad experiences rolling their own fenders? It looks easy.

AustNMike,
