If it was a higher offset..Say...closer to +45 then it might fit, but since it's +38 you will have rubbing issues. Maybe add some negative camber and put some 265's on it?

I was thinkin' of doing 265's if the 275's were gonna gonna rub. My camber is set negative as is and i'm planning on keeping it at it's current setting (i forgot) but over all i'm aiming for flush rather than tuck.

I saw the machine on the wall and asked him about it. He said he'd rolled the fenders on a few RX-7's.

265's on +38 should be fine, I doubt you need to roll, with 275 you'll need a slight roll

OMFG! I CALLED IT! as soon as i saw the rear fenders!

sorry, i make a game out of identifying car's by seeing small sections of it...

thanks for the pic's - that looks pretty decent

not sure about the lip though - i'm thinking of just having the standard 1.5-2" lip instead of the full 3" lip. what do you guys think??

It's a secret!

i just got a call from a friend that's thinking about getting rid of his wheels. It's not a sensible track wheel but definately a good 'show' wheel. They're gonna be slightly heavier than the wheels i originally wanted (rp03's) but then again, since this car will be a hand-me-down in a year or two, i figure why not spring on something good for the time being

I was just hoping they fit

just making sure...

18x8 +33 245/40/18 Front
18x9 +27 245/40/18 Rear

Those tires should fit without stretching or anything right?

I know I need to get a fender roll. What places would do that? Would most tire places be able to or would I need to go to a more specialized place? I know I could rent the stuff and do it myself, but I'd rather someone who knows what they're doing (and can be held responsible for any mistakes) doing it... Thanks for the help!

^255 would be a better match up for the Rears. But they will still be fine. And as far as where to get it rolled, I actually have no idea.

You can just rent a roller http://www.rollyourfender.com/rentalinfo.html and do it yourself, go slow. Or post around and see if anyone in your area who has done it could help you out.

I'd rather get it done by someone if possible. If it costs too much, then I might do it but I'm just looking to find out what places do this and how much they charge. So what kind of place would I expect to do this? Body shops? Shops that specialize in wheels/tires? Any help is appreciated.

To be honest I've no clue; ask other individuals that you know have rolled their fenders before to help you out.
