Rubbing on the rear fenders...

We're trying to find a solution to the rubbing atm.

Roll the rear fender lips. Solved my issue (I also don't drive my sister's fat girlfriend around anymore, so that helps, too).

What's the offset and rim width?

I didn't rub at all on 225/45/17 Azenis on a 17x7.5" Volk Gram Light (+48) when I test fit those.

But yea, roll all 4 fender lips. If you are daring, you can do it yourself with a baseball bat and a friend to help.

17x7 +48

They only rub in the back, we're wondering if his rear struts are worn or springs are just weak..

Yeah I told him to roll his fenders

I'll be able to help him more soon when my car comes back from the body shop..

I am! ...not on my car though.

That's what I tell him.. He's reading this post, just not replying.

He likes a little rice with his vegetables if ya know what I mean.

BTW we rolled the fenders today, no mor rubbing.

He was rubbing because of the offset. If the wheel was .5" wider, it'd be snugged in JUST enough

.

How did you roll them? Baseball bat? How's it look? I'll probably roll mine, but I'm nervous about taking a baseball bat to my fenders.

BAC5.2 Fender rolling isn't tough, I was apprehensive of doing it on my MY01 2.5RS, but it came out okay. You just have to realize before hand that it will take paint on the inside lip with it, and you just have to deal. That's what I get for trying to fit 225 RE070s.

Eastwood makes a special fender rolling tool that is awesome, but it is $300. A local shop (S-Squared) has it, and you could basically flare the fenders if you wanted to. Pretty neat.
