Default Rear RIM lip rubbing fender

Hey guys, Im running 19x10 +22 offset in the rear ( I know alot of you guys are running this too) and i have the car pretty low in the rear. I have the rear fenders rolled already but im running into the problem where the rear fender is actually cutting into the Lip of the actual rim not the tire. So do i need to roll more? Or is there no way around this?

yea, you can do either 1 of 2 things to solve this problem.

1) buy 10mm spacers so the rear fender will rub against the sidewall of your tire instead of the lip of the rim (assuming you have 245/35/19 tires)

2) pull your fenders (not recommending because it wont look flush anymore)


i'de go with 1.
