Default 225/45 Hoosiers on 38mm offset wheels? Rolled fenders?

Will having the fenders rolled be my best bet if I want to take advantage of lowering the car slightly? I don't have a problem removing the fender liner either.

How much does it usually cost to have the fenders rolled?

Edit: 225/45R15 <<<<

If you roll your fenders the paint is going to crack at the edge. This area will rust quickly if you drive in the rain.

If you roll fenders - you should also factor in the cost of repainting them

Are you prepping for that showdown w/the allmighty Vr-4?

I have rubbing issues w/205 azenis on +38 wheels.. My car is lowered quite a bit w/GC/Koni setup though...

Perhaps you should just take your fenders off

I was not able to run a 225 hoosier on my car. The 225 fit more like a standard 245ish.

I use to have a picture of 205 hoosier stacked next to 225 kuhmos and they where the same height.

Yes you will need to do somthing both front and rear... I cut the lip completely off my front fenders, and pounded the seam down on the rear quarter.

Also, if you fold the lip over in front, use a piece of Mig wire or the like and place it inside the seam to get a consistant, more paint-friendly edge. It won't crack nearly as easily.
