    Fender pulling/rolling questions.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My rear wheels are 18x9.5 with an offset of 33mm and right now everything runs perfectly because I'm on sport suspension and the fender isn't low enough. The problem is I'm starting to hate the gap and will be buying coils over the winter. I need more room in the rear, maybe 1/4 to 1/2 an inch? More towards the 1/4 mark but anyway, is this room available through fender pulling or what? I want to eventually tuck half my rear tire. If that helps.

    Thanks in advance.

    find a friend with a fender roller. Roll them bitches. Although I think the rears are pretty hard to do with the location of the calipers? I only rolled my fronts. You won't be low enough to make pulling worthwhile.

    25? I think you mean 35.

    well i mean the problem is the actual rim is flush with the fender, the tires already have some stretch to them believe it or not.

    you can always run a little bit of negative camber...that would prevent rubbing...

    increase your camber, max it out. as the suspension compresses, the camber angle increases, and you may just miss the fenders, if not, then pull them a little, and stretch tires are your friend too. i ran 19 x 9.5" unknown et, but they sat flush. i only rubbed with a fully loaded car. Me driving solo, i didn't have any issues, and i have no tire gap.
