If I use 285/30/20 in the back.. do I have to roll my fenders?

depends on 2 things, are you lowering? what are the offsets? that will determine if you will rub or not

 

how big a deal is it to roll the fenders? have to have a body shop do it? how much?

I had mine rolled. It took i bit over an hour--the guy was pretty worried about over creasing the lip and introducing a paint crack so he took his sweet time. Here's what it looks like:



You can see (or maybe you can't) that the fender lip is bent upward.

Oops. Forgot to say where/how I had the fenders rolled. I asked around (basically I found a mechanic that is also a car enthusiast and he pointed me to a tuning shop that does it).

They call it "rolling" because they actually hook a rubber roller--it looks like a big skateboard wheel--to the end of a metal arm that hooks to the hub bolts (with the wheel off). The arm follows the arc of the fender and they roll it back and forth to put pressure on the inside edge of the fender lip.

yes.. I will use Tein to lower it.. I'm not sure about the offset, but the rear wheel is 20x10.5

vic, since your going with a 10.5 your gonna need at least a 285 or 295 there is a good chance of rubbing if you lower it, so your gonna have to get them rolled for it to work

 

Well, really, it depends on your camber!!

I have 19" X 9.5" Volks in the back with a +24 offset. I am running 285/35R19's in the rear.

I have TEIN BASICS coilover setup, my car is "SLAMMED" about as low as possible.

On the camber issue... even with adjustable camber rods installed and adjusted... the camber is still extreme at this level of drop.

As the tire pivots upward, the camber actually allows the tire to clear the fender. So I get no rubbing.
