Default Can anybody help me with fender rolling?

I just got my rims installed this afternoon and was wondering if anyone could help me rolling the fenders. It rubbed a little bit on the way back to work and I think it would be better to roll them just in case.

I know I could just do it with a bat, but the last time I rolled a fender with a bat was about six years ago. So I'm kind of hesitant to do it myself on the S2000.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

If your car is lowered and you aftermarket wheels that are wider, there is a chance that when you hit a bump, the fender and the tire rub against each other. So you roll the inside of the fender upward towards the outside of the fender to give you more clearance. Hopefully this makes sense.

Actually, the 22s weren't really my style, so I went with 24s

I'm just playing. I actually went with 18s, but the rear tires had to be 265 because the tire I wanted didn't make them in a 255. So there is barely any clearance. I'll check with some auto stores and see what they have.

I need to do mine as well... my rears rub when I hit a dip on the highway. At low speeds I'm okay but those dips on the highways at high speeds really suck!!!

I tried to call a few shops and no one had it.

Whenever you decide to do it, let me know and we can do it together. When I did a search, I noticed that a lot of people from different areas ordered one and had a little tech day for who ever needed it done. That way everyone benefits. Just let me know.
