No, the smart people plan for things that are not expected... We don't expect to ever hit a bump that hard, but we plan for it, so if we do it won't cut our tires, cause us to lose control and turn a bad situation into a deadly situation.

It's the same reason you wear a seat belt. You don't expect to get into an accident, but you take precautions if it ever does happen.

Dude why are u tripping on his response? it wasn't pompous at all. If anything ur a jack for ordering rims and not knowing exactly what u got ur self into, no ones hating on you get outta here with that crap.

All he said was that it is possible if u have soft suspension it could slit ur tires over a bump or sudden dip on the road and could cause a tire blow out or accident. He was actually looking out for you. Now I'd be laughing if that actually did happen to you for not listening when someone's trying to help you out. The look on your face would be priceless when u found out ur fenders slit ur tires and caused a crash. Bhahahahaah

These guys have been giving you sound advice & you seem bent on being offensive & insulting. Ive read this thread from the beginning & its clear you have no idea what you are doing nor do you have common knowledge regarding aggessive wheel & tire pkgs.

There is a nice thread in the Show & Shine forum that will permit your silly offsets & stretched tires. Please go there & post

There advice was off topic. I was looking for advice on rolling fenders and fender roller opinions. I was stating that my suspension will never travel that far. All i got was a bunch of thumbs down on my opinion. And as for u telling me i have no common knowledge on wheel and tire package is an insult. I was asking opinions on fender rollers. It says nothing on my question in that forum. So thats why i asked in general. I dont get why u must chime in on this.

I suppose some primer and paint would stop it but to be honest I dont know why no one has suggested just trimming that edge off. I myself am I a HVAC guy so I work with metal every day so trimming that would be easy for me.
First off I'd like to clarify that offset +20, 30 whatever is entirely dependent on rim width, so saying a specific offset won't fit is just ignorance, you're trying to understand how much further the outter rim will sit compared to stock.

I'm running 255/35 actually, but with that said actual tire width varies upon tires, not all tires are the same, the profile of the width and the bulge of the tire is dependent on maker.

You are correct about the exposed edge from cutting, but normally you just reseal the edge no problem. CBRD swears by this method and I support it fully, it is by far the best way to ensure you don't F-up your fenders and you get the clearance you want. A double rolled, spot welded fender is difficult to roll as the two sheets will form and behave slightly different than each other, especially around the spot weld as the stiffness in the sheet metal changes.

You da man Its not very easy, and depending on 'how much' you actually rolled your fender will very. For every guy like you there are 50 which ruin it.

U guys really are making this out to be a topic and a bigger deal than ever had to be. Its clear that u enjoy this so im gonna take my question elsewhere where it will be addressed for the question in hand and not given a thumbs down or end up where i am insulted when all i have is a two questions.

GTIjoe my question for u is who is CBRD? Just so i can look at any success they have had with fender trimming. Also what sealant would u recommend using after trimming? I am really thinking of going this route for many reasons. Cheaper, less risk of fender damage etc.. any tips would be great. Thanks for your time.

Yes I would highly advise rolling the rear fenders, I'm running 18x9.5 +30 on 245/40 tires ( coilovers as well) . You must also figure out if spacers are needed for your the wheels or not as well. With mine I had to run a 12mm upfront to clear the stock brembos, I'm in the process of purchasing 5mm spacers to even it out in the rear. Even with that 5mm spacer in rear bringing the offset to +25 instead of +30 originally I'd still get away with no rub

With +20 u do not need spacers. But with plus +30 do u need extended studs? Thats what subydude at wheeldude.com has told me. Btw if thats your ride it looks really nice. Flush. Thats the look i would love to achieve.

I went with +20 because i did not want to mess with my studs. Im sure this all depends on the wheel itself also.

if your not using spacers then you will never need longer studs.
