roll them!

get a baseball bat (one of the little ones), jam it in there and roll the car a little bit.

oh, and there's something you're supposed to do so all the paint doesn't come off... my friend and i didn't care since his lancer is track-only now.

You use a heat gun to stop the paint from chipping. What size wheels and tires are you running? Like atilla said, worst come to worst you can get them rolled at a speed shop. I have no idea what having a body kit has to do with the fenders.

You could remove the fender liners and see if that helps. If it's the actual metal fender that is rubbing, you'll have to do some fabrication to fix it. What tires are you running and what offset?

Well here's info on offset if it helps. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=247411
No idea why the tires are rubbing since according to the tire calculator they should work fine. I'm guessing the offset is wrong.
