Wheel/Tire issues

Hello,
I purchased a set of Enkei Raijins 18x9.5 +15. Put on some potenza 255/40..I really should have went with a 35 but its done now.

Anyways Im having some rubbing issues, for the front I believe I have it worked out just had to heat up the fender liners and push them back, however the rear when I hit bumps I will hear a rubbing sound.

Would I need to roll my fenders? or is this something else I need to adjust for.

Either way any tips for what I should do for front and rear wheels would be great.

Thanks

you should be able to see marks on your rear tires if they are hitting the lip on the fender well. you could put some chalk on the underside of the fender and drive a little to get a better idea.

I would say with an ET15 and a 9.5 tire you should roll the fenders for good measure.

Agree. Small fender lip roll and/or alignment tweak will go a long way.

+1 to roll/camber. But don't go out of spec insane camber just for clearance.

Agree with the fender rolling and camber... But crazy camber will cause unnecessary tire wear, just make sure it's done by a reputable place... Could even have them corner balance your ride with you in it to really get you handling tuned in

Camber cannot be adjusted. You will need to get both front and rear camber.

What you meant to say is that camber has only two options in the front and a limited range of options in the rear. To have more than two options in the front, you need plates; to extend the options in the rear you need some new camber and toe arms.

To just say "camber cannot be adjusted" is incredibly misleading at best and will convey false information to 99% of readers.

ps. hey, ddawg et al., how do you like the new, gentle Iowa999? he's here for just one day, so get your fill; by tomorrow the above sort of post will go back to "complete and utter nonsense" (which was hard not to write)
