I sold my old set of rims and put on new rims last week. I have a 6th gen. 4 cyl. and had 19X7.5 ADR GT Sports on there. I sold those and went with Axis Se7ens 19X8, but I also went with a wider tire 235/35. The car has the Eibach Pro-Kit and now when I take sharp turns or hit a serious bump the wheels rub up against that little lip in the rear fender. I talked to the place I bought the rims and they told me to roll the fender but no one here in the Northeast has the proper tools, esp. that special tool that bolts onto the lugs to roll the fender. And Honda told me it might make my fender floppy. So I also thought about spacers to limit the travel of the spring. But I don't want the ride to be too stiff. Any suggestions or help?

 

DAMN thas a huge bitch!! 19's!! WOW... is your alignment corrected?? if it is you can take shims out of the rear to give it a little bit of camber.. or you can use a bat and roll the fenders yourself.. i dont suggest putting spacers in.. you can damge suspension components..

 

I hear you can roll fenders yourself with a baseball bat.
There's a shop here in VA that does it properly for $65 a corner...

 

How can spacers possible damage suspension components?

 

He meant "spacers to limit the travel of the spring," not wheel spacers.

 

if you put spacers on the spring and the spring fully compresses the force has no where to go, this could lead to damage to susp. components.. i used to work as a mechanic for a car rental place.. people used to steal our vehicles and load illegal aliens in the trunk.. they would use spring spacers to keep the back end from bottoming out... when we recovered the cars they would have blown or bent struts, bent axles, etc.... etc..

 

I see.

 

Yeah you can Roll your fender with a Baseball Bat, or you can rent a Real Fender Roller from Tirerack.com. But rolling yoru fender doesnt give you that much clearance you should cut your fender then tap it in. that will give you much more Clearance. Hope that help.

 

Well I was thinking about the damage to the suspension components and it seems that there was probably blown struts because these illegal aliens probably had about 6000 lbs of weight in the car. I think if i take a "normal" load then i shouldnt have a problem.

 

Hmmm I can't visualize this. What do you mean?

 

I mean rather than Sticking a bat and pushing up the lip on the fender . You cut the Lip and then slowly tap the left over part in.

 

Wont rolling them look better and be done easier?
