Default Wheel well rub

i just put on some ES 100's on my teg 205/45/16, same size as the last tires, and these ones are rubbing the rear wheel wells when i turn, someone told me of using a bat to roll the insides but that didn't work out to well, it basically just pushed out the quarter panel a little but didnt roll... does anyone else no of good ways to roll it? i don't wanna shred up these tires i just got, thanx

how low is your car? I have a 91 integra with the 205/45/16, same size. I have lowering springs for about 1.7 in the rear. Maybe the car is too low? thats the only thing i can think of.

you might want to try a heat gun and do it again. use a jack to adjust the gap between the fender and bat and roll dem bish!

there is a tool out there where it mounts to the wheel lug nuts and extends out to where it can roll the lip. im not sure what it's called or where to get it.

However you do it, take your time... Don't ruin your quarter panels.
Do it in several intervals...
1. Do the entire length, but only bending a bit.
2. Then repeat.
3. Then repeat.
4. Then repeat.
5. bunch of dittos.
