rolling my rear fender wells
i just put a new suspension on my 99 gsr and w/ 16in. rims and falken azenius. the new combo feels wicked nice but the tires are rubbing when i turn hard...i asked a few ppl how to fix it and some say camber kits or rolling my fenders..i want to keep the camber as it is. has anyone rolled their fenders before or know how to do this?

camber is very important since you want an even tire wear
so if you dont do it the inside of the tires (specially the front)
will wear out fast but if you want to roll the lip up go ahead.

get a bat or some kind of bar, put it between the fenderwell and tire. then just roll the car back and forth with the bar in between and bam... 'rolled' fenders. you may want to paint the inner fender after cuz some paint may chip.

I had my rear arches rolled professionally, they used this machine with rollers on it, which compressed the against the outside and forced the lip up rolling it at the same time, took about 5 minutes for each side and only charged $20 for both sides. Ask about i'm sure there has to be someone in your area that can do it, as its a common enough complaint with lowered cars

Well I had My Camber kit done today... Skunk2 (Front) Ingall (Rear)
Well the front ended up fine.. but my rear barely clears the wells i was reading my alignment sheet an the max.. I can have on the rear is -2.00" so I am gonna go back an put some camber on the rear... prolly -1.00" degree so yah not really to worried about camber.... Toe will kill you

well if you add negative camber, it will help the tires clear better (tires tilt farther inward). I have -2.3 in front and -2.0 in back, with only the slightest bit of wear on the inside edges of my tires, after 10K miles.
You should easily be able to run -1.5 to -2 deg. camber and be fine as long as you keep the toe-in set exactly and rotate your tires regularly.
