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
