Rep Power: 278 instead of actually rolling the fenders you can always take a di-grinder and grind back the lip. this is what i did to fit in the 225/40/18's. works great and have'nt had a problem with them at all.

Rep Power: 278 im not talking cutting anything i am not refering to ausing a cut off wheel, but more of a carbide burr style bit and shave the lip down. it doesnt even have to be completely off just shave enough down as to where it does not rub. this is much easier than rolling the lip under and it does the same thing your not decreasing the structural integrity of the quarter by doing this
this is the bit style i am refering to

Rep Power: 278 ever thought about going to a black housing projector???
the only reason i say that is becasue the headlights are the only chrome on the car besides the lip on the rim. I think black housings might provide a better contrast

Rep Power: 296 Looks good man. Damn where'd you get that strut bar at? LOL, jk, i'm glad you like it, i know i did when i owned it. I'm debating on rolling my fenders too. Even though my camber isn't that bad at all, i still want my **** to wear as even as possible.
