Hey guys,
Quick question. I have 17x8 215/45 in the front and 17x9 245/45 in the rear. I ordered skunk2 pro c coilovers and they will be here next week. I have already gotten the rear fenders fully rolled and plan to relocate the bumper tab. I plan on lowering the car pretty low. Will I need to get the front fenders rolled or anything?
Thanks
yes you do, at least from my setup...tho i rolled and flared my fronts, but from what i remember, if i had only a roll, it would for sure rub...


i guess it all depends on how low you plan on going...here is a pic for reference
17x8/9 +45

225 fronts 245 rears

fronts - fully flared and rolled
rears - roll and tab relocated

^When you run the 225 on the front that makes a big different too. The 215 on the 8 provides just a tinyyy bit of stretch that make you able to get away without a roll unless youre low. If your low you can even just push in the tabs in the front and you should be good. The large tabs in the front of the liner and the top middle is what causes people to mess up their fenders when their tire snags those tabs and causes them to flip out. If those are pushed in youre good. You can do that with a fender roller or your hands

Thanks for the help guys. The coilovers will be here thursday and are goin on the car friday morning. Hopefully I can get away with just pushin the tabs up. What do you do with the fender liner, mainly the part near the edge of the fender that gets wider where those tabs are?

What is needed for 17x9+35 for the front with a 225/45/17 tire and rear 17x9.5+38 for the rear with a 265/40 tire?
I am lowered about 2" all fenders rolled somewhat and have -2.5 rear camber and -1.5 neg camber in the front.

I typically go through Tire Rack. I haven't checked GTs pricing yet
