What is your offset? I tucked 17x10's up front on my s14 with no fender roll, and with the car slammed. I also ran a 235-40 tire.

If you want your car slammed with some low offset wheels, you'll have to roll your fenders and lose the fender liners just like everyone else does. Either that or get very created with your fenders and fender liners to accomodate your wheels.

I'm all about "flush" but that fitment is rediculous on stock fenders. You should be running a +10/+15 offset. 0 offset (judging by the pic) is overkill.

Just roll your fenders. You don't have to pull them.

Don't be a pansy. Roll the damn fenders. What is so bad about rolling?

I have 17x9 -5 up front and I don't rub. I used to rock the 002s with 195s and did not rub either.

Just roll the fenders and stop crying.

For some reason the wheels on the piggy in your sig don't look like 002s. The lip looks massive.

Got anymore pics of your car with the 002's?

all you need is a rubber mallet and heat gun. should be easy to do just steady and not too strong taps after heating it well w/ the gun.

I wouldn't go to Autosport Addiction or whatever it's called now, unless they have a roller. I already rolled mine up a little bit with a pipe, tshirt and heat gun. I took it to them to hopefully finish it up. All they did was cut slices into the fender lip and folded the lip back a bit more.
