My tires are too big right now i dont have the money for new tires or at least expensive ones. They rub on the inner fender and i need to roll the fender. whats the easiest way to do this? without spending too much money or damaging the body?

 

now that i thought about it, tire stretching wouldnt work.... help

 

you just answered your own question.. roll the fenders.. search

 

Or get properly sized tires.

 

 

Why not buy properly sized tires in the first place?

if you can't afford to buy more tires, try an ad on craigslist to organize a tire trade, or ask for some used ones for free.

 

The statement about tire stretching was immediately corrected. i think ill be fine.

nobody would even trade tires that have been worn down by the fender. the wheel and tire setup is off another integra before i bought them

 

you would be surprised. there's someone giving away free tires on your craigslist right now. they are too big, but keep an eye out for stuff like this: http://lascruces.en.craigslist.org/s...min&maxAsk=max

 

What size tires are you running and how low is the car?

 

i believe there are places that you can rent a fender roller front, what kind of car do you drive, what are the specs on your rims and tires, and how low are you?

 

they're 205/ 50r /16's on a dc2. Idk how low it is. I bought it with the coil overs already on it. Its pretty low though. I like the stance and I don't want to change it and I think if I put a lower profile tire on it it will be shitty for every day driving. I really need to roll the fenders but I have never done it. Know of anywhere that could help with the process? Other forums? Links? Articles?

 

if you have any local tuner shops they can do it for you, or you can do what we did and use a rubber mallot and hammer and do it yourself, VERY carefully hahaha

 

sometimes you can add camber to get rid of a slight fender rub. or you can raise your car.

 

You probably already know, but those tires are not the correct size. They are about 1/4" larger in radius than stock and are definitely causing your problem, and also probably degrading other aspects of performance (handling, braking, accelerating). If you can wait until you raise the cash my opinion is that you'd be far better off investing in new 205/45/16 tires than in rolling the fenders.

 

if i was going to DIY a fender roll i would use a baseball bat instead of hammers

Why don't you just raise the car up a little bit? Theres no point in ruining you **** just for looks.

BTW A camber kit will likely make his problem worse as it would bring the top of the tire outward more.

 

here's the problem. and yes i know im missing a stud. no need to point out how dangerous it is.

 

i guess i could raise it until i get tires. what size do i need? tire specs confuse me.

I noticed you are also from cruces, there is a local shop called "MCS". They can roll your fenders for you and do excellent work. Their adress and phone number are, 301 N. 17th St Suite H, Las Cruces, NM 88007, 575.373.0531

There is also a local forum called crucesstreets.com that they participate on and alot of other local people that can help you out in town.

check this guys hatch out from el paso that MCS did a fender roll on

I would check out the whole build too, its pretty cool.

 

Skip the fender rolling if your suspension will let you raise it. Even if you want it lower again, raise it, get a new hub and tires and set things right with that car. There's no reason to ruin the body when you can fix the real problem: the wrong tires. You'll be glad you did, too, because you'll notice the performance improvement. I'm guessing a 1/4 mi. improvement of almost 0.25 sec.

+1000000 for raise it and save up for new tires.

 

Stickied at the top of the wheel and tire forum is a topic:

Forum Rules and FAQ - READ BEFORE POSTING
It has very good information on wheels and tires. For example, it says:

For example, all Integras came from the factory with tires in one of two sizes: 195/60-14, or 195/55-15. Both have tread that is approximately 195 mm wide. Those with 14" diameter wheels have sidewalls that are 195*.60 = 117 mm (4.61") tall; those with 15" diameter wheels have sidewalls that are 195*.55 = 107.25 mm (4.22") tall. (On a given car, larger diameter wheels use tires with shorter sidewalls so that the outer diameter of the tire remains approximately the same.)

That FAQ also tells what tire sizes work well on some of the more popular cars:

 

you raise it, you'll have bald tires quick unless you get an alignment.

baseball bat + heatgun works I heard

 

yeah i rolled the fenders with a hammer and flared them with a baseball batt
