reason why your tires are getting messed up because your fenders are rubbing against you tires..maybe if you roll your fenders on all for..you wouldnt have a problem..its okay dude, im a nubb at this too.

No. there fine there not hitting the fenders. Only time it hits it is in the front when I make a U-Turn..other then that they are fine, I was just saying I wish I got more of a low-pro tiers because it would have looked nicer.

Only reason you would need a camber kit is if you car is lowered. But if its not lowered then you just may need the people who do your alignment to check your OEM camber specs. once they're in line you should be good. Also with a rim that is 9 inches wide in the front you may run into some tire rubbing and i would say you may jus need to shave your front fenders. Rolling them is OD unless your slammed. GL

Just roll all 4 fenders, I don't think it's necessary to buy a camber kit

Yea thats fine. I have 19x8 up front with a 2 inch drop. No rolling needed but I do have adjustable UCAs to correct camber

rolling fenders and camber kits serve two different purposes. if your car is lowered more than 1.5 inches then you will need a camber kit because the OEM camber adjustments can not fully correct that. Rolling your fenders is only needed if your tires are rubbing. depending on how low you plan on going with those teins your gonna need a camber kit unless you love replace tires every three-four months.
