Default Wheel fitment issues, open to suggestions

Put on my new wheels and here was the result:









295/35/18 on 18x10.5+20

I rolled the fender in to 45degrees with a heat gun and metal bar (no paint chips, yay!)

Any suggestions on how to roll and pull it clean?

Step down in tire size unless you want to do bodywork to fit that. I have a 245/35 on a 10.5 +22 and it's still pretty close with a rolled fender and -1.7 camber.




Obviously I'm not crazy low, but it works great being a DD.

is there a reason you want that much tire? to be honest my suggestion would be to step down a few sizes in tires, and lower the car a little bit more. then you could get away with just a roll.

I need the width for whats coming next (stock twins are gonna be tossed out soon )

The car is as low as can go without ruining the handling.

I am just looking for ways to roll or pull it to make it work without changing tires or height.

Grab a fender roller, or pay someone to roll it with a slight pull.

I was thinking a baseball bat after heating the crap out of the paint. How will that work?

Or the phonebook ?

You need to run a 265 at least, 255 or 245, would be better. You definitely need a roll and don't be cheap about it. You got some nice wheels, get your fenders rolled and slightly pulled. Also, you won't be able to save your paint with or without a heat gun.

I'm running 19x10.5 rear +22 on a 255/35 tire. No camber n I have about a finger gap . Rolled fenders. I only rub on hard bumps n the reason is bc of the bubble inside the quarter panel. Nothing that a hammer cant fix. Bt I'm trying to add -1.5 - 2.0 camber .

you have 4 options:

buy smaller tires
buy different wheels
pull fender, bodywork, repaint
overfenders, bodywork, repaint

i agree with kohinoor. personally id go down a few tire sizes first, those are too beefy for my likings, also, dont do your fenders with a baseballbat or phone book. youll ***** them up, just pay someone good to do them.

Thanks,

Repaint is not an issue, as its part of my build and its going to have to be done.

Not into the over fender look, so I want to try and do this with a straight pull. Worst comes to worst, we are cutting up the fenders and doing some welding.

How can I achieve the pull I need to fit these wheels?
