Default Fender Rub questions

tried searching but didnt help

Just slammed my car today and its rubbing the fender like crazy!, when i drive straight and the rode slightly dips down and back up my tires rub the fenders, and of course when i turn it rubs like crazy, i look at my front tires and they're being eaten up like crazy, will rolling the fenders stop the rubbing? and im rolling on HX's with 195-60-14's getting ready to get 16's

and no i dont want to raise my car. i love the look but dont like how it rubs.

Rolling the fenders would help along with more negative camber. You have to sacrifice if you want to change the cars settings that much.

rolling the fenders should do it. especially since ur wheels are only 6.5 inches wide. just wait till u hit a pot hole and ur camber hits ur tower...not fun at all lol

You should probably take your fender off and smash the pinch welds in the middle flat..

good idea ...or you could grind it down if your only hitting in one spot. Thats what I did and I havent had any problems since.

Try lifting your car an inch and a half so you don't look like a hoodrat driving on cut springs and busted shocks. I'm sure you'll be surprised that your car will actually handle better too.
