Hello. Wasn't sure where I should put this topic so I put it here.

My question is, I'm going to be lowering my 99 Si a fair amount this weekend. Was wondering if I need to roll my fenders. My wheels are 15x7 +41 enkei rpf1s. Tires are 205/55/15. And on my stock Si wheels. Not sure of the offset but tires are 195/55/15s.

Would appreciate input. Because I'd rather not risk cracking my paint if I don't have to. I can rent the proper tool if it needs to be done.

 

I would think you'll be fine with that size wheel and tire lowering it, but if you do run into needing to roll your fenders just use a heat gun and you wont crack your paint, I personally dont like using fender rollers, after doing a car with "the right tool" and then doing another with the rubber mallet method, I will be sticking to the mallet on future fenders. In my experience the fender rolling tool is more for like stretching the fender than actually tucking the metal edge up in the fender. but I am no profesional this is just my experience.

Youtube can be helpfull to see good and bad techniques also.

 

Why 205/55/15??? 205/50/15 would be best but still oversized. I have enkei rpo-2's 15x7+36 with 205/50/15 and I had to roll the lips just a bit so you should be good.

 

They are just the tires they came with. I'll go with 50s when I replace the tires. Thanks for the input, guys.
