Yet another "does it fit" question, sorry guys

Post by fireytom »

Well I have finally saved up enough dough to get some rims, and i have a few questions about fitment(yes I have searched quite a bit, but time is a factor here). I was looking into the Rota Sub-Zero's, 17x7.5 with a 225/45-17 tire. My 90 LS sedan will also soon have GR2's with either H&R's or some Whitelines on it. I just wanted to know if I have a lot of rubbing to look forward to with this setup or will it simply require a fender rolling? Any help with this is greatly appreciated seeing as I am still quite a Subby Newbie.

if you are going 225, you will have to roll because you are pushing it a bit too wide.

As for rubbing, you will find that out only after doing the suspension parts.

You didn't search very hard, because that's my summer setup, and I've posted about it many times.

You'll rub the fender, a good amount. You need to roll them.

what does rolling fenders mean, does a body shop have to do this?

Well I guess somehow I missed your post when i was searching, sorry about that. Rolling is when you bend in the small lip around the fender well and can be done with a bat, heatgun, and some patience from what i understand. Thanks for the responses guys.

I'm rolling my fenders with 16" stock WRX'ers. I think anything above a 15" is going to roll at least a little bit.
