Default rolling fenders

I have work meister wheels. 18x8 in the front w/ 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 in the rear. My question is anyone having rubbing issues with their rims? I am only getting it on the driver side which is cutting the tires. I would like to know what kind of options i have. Oh and i dropped the car about 1.5 inches.

I had bad rubbing issues with my 18x8 and 18x9.5 SP1's when I put them on my car along with my drop and a bad driveway I managed to pull out my front passenger fender. I ended up buying a fender roller, and raised my car 1/4" and all is well now.

When you did the fender rolling, did it stop any rubbing issues for good? How bout the "bolt" that's connecting the fender and the rear fender together? That small bolt is freakin me out even after all the fenders that i rolled. My offset is +47 and guess what on a stock height .

Yes, I rolled the front and rears. The rear lip is much larger, but there is still something to roll up front.

first question is do you have pics of your rolled fenders? and if i get carbon fiber fenders which is 10mm wider than stock ones do you think it will stop the rubbing? the rubbing is happening at the outer part of the tire which is starting to cut the tire. Thanks
