wait till you get the wheels/tires on your car. then decide from there if you need to roll your fenders. from the sound of it, looks like you will be just fine with only a slight shave

Chris,, that is SEX!!.. What offsets are you running?? And what fender mods???

Somewhat off topic. Anyone know a good "how to" thread on rolling and pulling fenders?? I think I'm going to have to SLIGHTLY pull my rear fenders although I really don't want to.

Planning on running 19x9.5 and 19x10.5 +22 on both..

Go with 245/40 for the rear. You'll be fine. The front is gonna rub a little but you'll rub to fit.

looks roughly like 9.5/10.5+22, especially since he just agreed with me and thats the specs we were talking about.

btw those ccw classics look dope on breakwater blue!

Hey guys,

I just bought Privat wheels 19x8.5 +30mm Front, 19x9.5 +25mm Rear (225/40/19 F and 245/35/19 R). The rear fender basically sits on the tire when the car is lowered all the way down. Do you guys think I would be alright by just rolling my fenders? With maybe a tiny pull?
Also, do you guys have any tips for tucking/cutting the front fender liner? Thanks!

I can't drop more... I'm AWD. Both F&R coilovers are maxed out. Also, I'm not very flexible with tire sizes... the outer diameter has to be very close. So basically, I need to make my current set up work. This picture is a little misleading though, I am tucking tires a little more... I didn't roll the car after setting it down. Also the coilovers are new, so they haven't settled yet.

Any tips on making my set up work? Thanks!

What did you guys do with the fender liner in the front for those running low? I didn't experiment yet, but looks like a major PITA.

Yeah bro... toughing it out to make it look good. Thanks! I'll be rolling the fenders soon with a tiny pull, I think I'll be fine.

Thanks. They were painted for the original owner by Lexus. Honestly, it doesn't bother me anymore, it kind of grew on me.
