Default Fender Rolling

Anyone know anyone around here that does a good job? Picked up some new wheels/tires (Enkei RPF1 17/7.5 17/8 45/48, with 225/255 tires), and I'm rubbing pretty bad.

Front are rubbing too, but I think I might be able to get the clearance I need with minor modifications to the front fender liner/tabs.

How the hell are you rubbing? How much of a drop do you have?

No drop at all. Bone stock suspension.

It's because of the relatively radical offset of the wheels, I believe.

Sounds like you need different wheels, not a fender roller

Hmm... Anyone have any suggestions?

I got these wheels because of BBK clearance, but everyone seems to be telling me something must be wrong if they're rubbing with a stock suspension.

When was the last time you had an alignment? You can dial in more negative camber to help with the rubbing, this will increase tire wear on the insides of the tire though. Also I think if you went with smaller tires it would also help. say 215's and 235's or 245's.. 255's are pretty wide for that low of an offset
