after i get my car aligned!!

so i took my car to the shop so my alignment can be normal, and i get back to pick the car up and my tires are rubbing against the wheel well. (REAR ONLY)that little lip that wraps from the outside of the car to the inside. and has the spot welds to hold the panel on. so i was talking to one of my friends and he said i could get the wheel well rolled out so i can fit my 16" rota's with Falken Azenis. so i lifted the car and put my stock rims on(EX) and it doesnt rub. dam car is too low but i refuse to get new springs. anywayz does anyone have a thought on how to hadnle this problem? thank you.sorry so long

that is because you had the alignment set to stock! You can't have it set to stock or you will rub You need more negative camber or roll the fender.

i dunno. You can do it yourself, but you might bend your fender or crack your paint. Call up some body shops and ask them if they will do it. If they won't call up your local speed shop and ask them who they might recommend.

i have 18s and mine dont even rub...
it barely clears it. The alignment shop should have set the alignment so that it doesnt hit. Usually it'll still be within spec.
But yeah I also rolled my fenders a little bit using a baseball bat.
To do that just jack the car up enough so that you can fit a bat in between the fender and tire. than just push the bat down(toward the center of the rim) and that should bend the fender lip a little. just keep going around the top of the fender

dtexan is an unknown quantity at this point
If you do roll them yourself use a heatgun to heat up the paint. It helps in preventing cracks in the paint
