Rubbing issue
Hello, I recently upgraded wheel sizes from stock 16's with 215/16/55 in the front to 17's with 225/17/45 in the front and rear. My driver side fender is becoming rolled out alittle from tire rub and the metal is shreading my outside tire. Anyone have similar issues? I bent the part of the fender that was rolled out back up into the fender lining area but was push back out again. Wondering what I need to do. I know I probably need to roll my fenders but I dont really rub that bad when it is bent back up. Just when i hit a bump at speed and such, I mean I'm low but I'm not super slammed.
I will post a photo later today

get them rolled, mine did the same thing, and I got them rolled in the front and now they don't ever rub, maybe get them pulled alittle bit too (so the tire fits inside the fender better. I had to recently do my rears as I put a 10mm spacer on the rear of mine with +35 offsets and they started rubbing, so I just rolled them and now it only rubs when I hit something and hard and my car gets slammed back down, which is rare.
basically get em rolled. best thing to do

from the pics, rolling won't be enough. you might have to pull them out some. how low are you? if to low the tool won't fit unless you raise it back up. ran into the same issue on a subaru yesterday.
