Rolling the fenders

I was on koni and neuspeed race springs with 17's 215/40/17 and I just installed a rear camber kit and now the rear tires are rubbing the fender.. For anyone that says 215 fit with no problems are full of **** with neuspeed race and the camber corrected IT WILL RUB no questions asked..

Did you try giving it some negative camber to tuck the tires?

Did you roll the fenders already?

If not use a wood bat until the inner lip is rolled up if you didn't know that already.
You may need to jack the up a little if there isn't room.

yea, I will try the wooden bat thing, I don't want to have negative camber because that is why I spent money on a camber kit it was out -3 before now it is only out -1.5 but it is rubbing. I will try and do it myself because I don't want them to take a grinder to the paint casue it will rust overtime thanks for that bat trick.

yah just wedge it between the fender anf tire and roll it back and forth until it is rolled all the way up.

If you do chip the paint get some touch up paint .
It is not like people will see it anyway.

Good luck!

I heard someone plasma cutted their fender lip instead of rolling it. Sounds like a good idea?

Becarefull when you do roll the lip in, Don't overdo it, or you'll warp the fender. Rolling the fender is a slow process, if you try to do it fast you will damage the fender!!!! Go slow, and do a little at a time.

you dont just roll the batt back and forth...
you push the bat down, move it a little, push it down again, etc...
ya and do it little by little.. go over it 3-4 times, dont do it in one shot

yea I did it the other night the paint chipped up pretty good, but I covered it in touch up paint you can't see the bent part anyway only if you run your hand under the lip you can feel the dents and chips. You need to do this slow other wise you can really do some damage.
I wonder wh yI was rubbing anyway? neuspeed race? I also have a system in the trunk. I only noticed the rubbing when i corrected the camber it was out -3 before I got the kit with no rubbing. thanks for the help guys
