The rear tires on my car are 275's and have recently had a problem with my tires rubbing against my fender. The only time they really rub is when I either hit a big bump or have 2 or more people in my car.

I know there are a few options out there (Spacers, Fender Rolling/Cutting), but what would be the best method to go about fixing this problem?

 

Fender rolling is the best way to assure no rubbing. The rear tires tend to rub more as the well is more constrained than the front. You can rent a jig at Autozone and the like that attaches to your wheel hub via the lugs and it has an adjustable roller to bend the fender lip up and in. Best to use in conjunction with a heat gun and to go slowly and roll the lip a little at a time to preclude cracking the paint. There's a good youtube how-to demo around here somewhere.

roll, change suspension, or get the proper size wheel/tire combo for your suspension setup.

 

Well I've been trying to just get rid of my wheels but it isn't going well, so if I can't sell them fender rolling would be the next step to go.

I'll go try to find some videos and see if I can maybe do that.

 

^^ Indeed. People often plan for ideal conditions, forgetting potential added weight (e.g. four passengers), etc. There's a reason the stock wheels are +50 and tires 'only' 225x45. But again, that's why rolling is an oft employed solution.

You can do it, just proceed slowly, use a heat gun, and just a litttle roll on each pass.

 

I don't have all the proper equipment to get this done though......

 

Rent or borrow. Most of us don't have a dedicated fender rolling jig, as it's a rare-use item.

A good body shop can do it for you tho'. Shouldn't cost too much.

 

Well that is good, that is what I was worried about was the cost. But I figured seeing as I would only need the rear fenders rolled it shouldn't cost too much.

 

They shouldn't charge you more than a couple hours labor.

 

Well I have been reading on it and most people are charged between $75 - $150 to get their fenders rolled which isn't too bad. Now I just have to find a place that can actually roll them for me and do it well.
