i just got new rims (17/7.5/42off) and new tires 215/45/17 and i have my car droped on tein coilovers. and i have had to raise my height so i dont have my new tires hiting my fenders. i know i can do a fender roll but i do not know how. dose any one know how? (with out buying the $200.00 tool) pics would be nice.

Thanks

 

buy wheels/tires that fit the car, instead of trying to make the car fit the wheels/tires

FYI 215/45/17 is bigger than stock. A better size would have been 215/40/17 with a +48 offset. Ideal size would have been 225/40/17 with a +50 offset.

rofl..if i only understood ANYTHING that he said

 

well at least you aren't going the route LOTS of ricers do, trying to stretch a 195 tire onto the 7.5" rim

That's not ricer at all. Where did you read that garbage? Drifters do it because tires are expensive and they go through tires all day. It's a new "fad" in the rear wheel drive community. The tires are cheaper, so why not.

Cutting your springs is ricer.

 

I don't think anyone here was talking about drifting. I also didn't mention RWD vehicles. Plain and simple, putting a narrow tire on a wide rim is retarded. It goes against the structural design of the tire and leaves the rim unprotected. Oh, and you get less contact area with the pavement. People who do this should also have a rainbow sticker on their bumper.

It's purely a cosmetic thing. No one ever claimed it was for performance lol. It's as rice as ebay lips and jdm goodies are, which is not at all. Just cosmetic preference.

And I've never heard of anyone popping their stretched tires out. ish is on tight.

But back on to OP topic, get the right size tires and save alot of trouble and possibly money. 215/40/17 or 205/40/17. Bigger tires just don't look right and hurt your performance/ speedo.

 

I've been running 215/45/17 with a 1.5" drop for years with no problems.

You'll rub if you go lower 2+. Depending on the offset/ rim width of course.
