With the car lowered ALL the way, the fronts DO NOT RUB AT ALL, but the back is a completely different story.
Only the right rear tire will rub at stock height when I hit a big hump or speed bump...If I lower it, I'm guaranteed to rub like crazy. I already ate up the RR plastic fender piece on the actual fender lip (the piece that needs to be rolled).
Oh well, I guess I'll have to take this to a body shop that can do the rolling...she needs to go in the shop anyway for re-spray and kti installation.

I have 19x10+42 in the back with 275/35/19 and they look tucked in a little bit.

i WILL have the fenders rolled or cut for sure...just got to find a place to do it..the shops here claim that if they rolled my fenders, they will need to PAINT the entire side panel because it will crack or chip the paint
..so they can charge me $600.00 JUST to roll the fenders and re-paint panels....lolMike

I guess I'll buy another set for the rears and this time I will STRETCH!!!! so 255/35/19 a good size for this application?
