Rolled out, Flared out, Fatter fendes needed? Help!?
Having a slight problem. When taking turns sharply and at speed by tires are rubbing the top of the fender. Tires stick out about 1/2 in. from the car. My friend had the same problem and he got flares and took care of it. I tried seraching the archives and ive seen that people make flares for the ef's but no one posts where to buy them

what size wheels and offsets do you have?
i had to roll my fenders a little bit with 15x7's and a +43 offset

always roll the fenders
flares allow u coverage over a wider tire, but wont help with binding on the fender lip
if u cut them and then use flares that would work
or anothe way is to have ur fenders ballooned
ur fenders would be heated and then streched
i have only seen that on old school domestics though.

you ghetto roll your fenders.
Take a baseball bat wooden. Jack up your car you so you can get some gap in between the tire and fender and slowly let the jack down a tiny bit and roll the bat from edge to edge and pull the batt out from the fender a little at a time. I ahve done this on a freinds car. with time and patiance it will look OK.

Have you tried looking at the J's Racing fender flares? I cant link directly to the page with the flares, but you just go to the site below and click on ENTRANCE --> ENGLISH (bottom left of page) --> PRODUCTS --> CIVIC EF9 and select Body kit from the scroll down menu.
