Hey guys I just purchased a set of HP Evo Wheels from a forum member.

The setup is like this.

Front: 19 x 8.5. Tires are Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's 245/35/19 38 Offset
Rear: 19 x 9.5. Tires are Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's 275/30/19 38 Offset

Now Ive searched the forums, but couldnt get a concise answer on this speciific question. Please forgive me if it has been discussed before.

Im on business right now and wont install the rims until this weekend (September 9th)

Just wondering if you guys think I will rub? The buyer said he was rubbing but he had his car lowered with S-Techs.

I have stock suspension right now however I plan to lower with H-techs in the coming months.

Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks
Kris

They should not rub but it depends on the manufacturer and yes how low your car will be. If they do rub. Roll your fenders asap! and post pix when you can.

you may rub if you have people sitting in the back. just get your fender's rolled or shaved anyway. you'll probably rub with h-techs.

Kris

How much does it cost usually to get fenders rolled?

Anybody in the Toronto Area know a good place to do it?

You guys think I'll Rub with the H-techs huh? I bought a replica MS Kit I will wait until it is installed to determine if the drop is needed (probably will need it to get rid of the fender gap).

he's running 275/30 as well. if that's the case on a +44 offset, then you'll rubb too. i rub on a +36 offset but im lowered on s-techs as well.

Kris

Are you guys rubbing constantly? or is it over just hard bumps etc?

Im trying to find a place that'll roll my fenders..... whats the rough costs to do so?

Thanks

before i had my fenders shaved i rubbed over every bump or deep slope that i was angling (car is low) and also my back seats were basically useless during that time.

I'm going with 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 w/40mm and Mazda Speed Sport Springs. If I rub I'll let you guys know and I'll roll the fenders. I'll have pix up soon.

275/30 with +42 offset and use to rub
just cut rear fender .25 inch before tack weld. cost about 100 for both rears.

Kris

Now Guys, remember im still on Stock Suspension.

Im aware that many of you have lowered the car, I havent lowered as of yet.

I have contacted my local wheel shop and they told me 750 dollars to roll my fender I was like WTF!

They said that once they roll, the paint cracks in the inside and it starts to rust very quickly.

Is this the case? Im in canada so we do go through some tough snow and salt.


Again Im on stock suspension, even with stock setup you think ima rub? I cant wait to put the wheels on, but to be honest Im kind of apprehensive to do so if they rub.

Thanks and Regards
Kris

750 is way to expensive to roll fenders. canadian or us dollar. don't let the fact of rubbing steer you away from getting the wheels on. since you plan on lowering later (stock height realy is too high), just find another place that can do the fenders for cheaper. i had mine shaved, it's safer because the paint doesnt have to bend or crack, just shaved off. all you have to do to prevent rust is to dap paint on the edges.

Kris

well the 750 included repaint of the fender after they roll it and the second quarter doors.

I have the white water pearl so it costed a bit more he said.

So i should be around 100-150 to roll my fenders? And shaving i take it costs a bit more?

i dont see why they would have to repaint your fender. if they do it right it'll look clean. yea look for the 100-150 dollar range for two fenders. my fender shave cost me 60 but i a big hook up. shave and roll usually cost about the same.

Kris

I think Im just going to Roll the fenders to be sure about it..... cause i do plan to lower the car after winter with the H-Techs.

when i get home on saturday I will install the wheels and post some pics..... Hopefully the rub wont be too bad, Apparently the front werent rubbing only the rear.

Kel Rx8

i paided 50 bucks but thats cause I know them for years and all the local rotorheads I send him.

P.s please do a search or ask someone that knows about our cars. dont roll our fenders theres a reason there is a tack weld there.well I tried to help u but its your money and your car. spending 750 LOL
im Out please dont make a rook mistake

has anyone rolled our fenders before? i only know those of us that had it shaved. i saw a G35 the other day with rolled fenders... they flared the rear corner near the bumper... lol...

DOMINION

Oh man that must look nasty!

Kris

I called many body shops and they all ranged from 450 (cheapest) to 1000

they ALL said if i roll the fender in this car it will crack the paint and I will have to repaint the fenders.

I dont get it, alot of you guys seemed to roll the fenders in the rear and had no issues. yet all the body shops I called here in the GTA said that the paint will surely crack.

I do know many of them are just looking to make money. But they all reached te same general concensus.



For those of you who have actually ROLLED your fenders, did you guys experience paint cracking? I know its standard procedure to heat the area with a heat gun prior to the roll so the paint is a bit more flexible.

Im inclined to just buy the tool from ebay for 200 dollars and do em my self

Atlease I know I would take the proper steps to avoid cracking the paint.

Whats your thoughts on it?
