Lowered too much ? rubbing and rolling out fenders ?

[Shaved &/or Laid]

I got some 17's on my car with 40 series. Having rode aroudn with clearance up front, i decided i got tired of it and want to slam it. After the fact, my car rubs grotesquely, and i donno what to do exactly. I REALLY dont wanna raise it, so is there any option such as rolling otu the fenders or would something as simple as 35 series tires work ?

thanks

roll the fenders (may not work 100%)...or raise the car

making the tires thinner than they already are is a BAD idea because you would most likely wreck your wheels

well, thats the thing...how do i roll them and make them look good ? lol

I tried to rool out mine with a baseball bat. but my car was slammed 3' so i couldn't even fit the bat in the wheel well. best bet, raise the car.

the method of lowering doesn't effect the fact that the tires rub on the fenders...

to properly roll your fenders you need to have it done... it's not a diy thing... IF you want it done right...

You CAN do it with a baseball bat or similar tubular rod... but it's not all that easy and NOT something you just want to run out and try... you could end up creasing your WHOLE fender... or worse your quarter...

You can mess with offeset to a degree but I think then you run into inner rub problems... rolling the fenders properly is your best option.

it will set me back enough but mine isnt going to be fast its just for fun!!

I mentioned air ride just because then he can raise it when he starts rolling

Yes i want air ride more than sex right now. Simply because im a mini trucker at heart, so i know all about air ride. Someone told me they found a kit for 700$ FBSS but i forgot to ask where.

that would be sweet if it was for real but an air ride kit for that low sounds weird to me
