I'm lowered on Tein Springs and getting 19" or (20's) CV3's in a few months. Right now I'm planning on getting 19x8.5 +15. What would I need to get the +15 to fit and not rub? Fender roll, pull?

20's would be 20x9 +20

This is before settle, fresh after install.


I'm gonna post this exact thread in AC forum if it doesn't get any responses or the answers I need, haha sorry mods.

Unless some1 has the same setup, they can tell u. I roll fenders, my best advise is to test fit the wheels first. If u know its gunna hit or rub, get a basic fender roll first.

8.5 +15 sounds nice.

You will most likely need to have your rear fenders trimmed or rolled.

I don't think a pull will be necessary.

Tire size is important, I would get 245/35/19 for some meat

You won't rub at all. But your safest bet would only be to roll your fenders. No pull is needed to run 8.5 with a +15

My wheel specs are 19x8.5F and 19x9.5 rear. Tire spec is 245/35/19 and 225/35/19

My fronts dont rub with no fender roll and my rear rubbed hardcore without a fender roll. Now that i have them rolled, everything is snug and fitted. I'm on megan coilovers btw.

Check my thread on the general discussions.

What offset are you running?

Edit: Nevermind, checked out your thread.
Edit 2: If I went with 20x9 +20 it would have the same poke, that would mean the same fitment correct? (not counting tire size)

Roll/trim the rear.

Or you can wait until you get the wheels, and then roll/trim the rear lol

I've noticed the front fenders are pretty smooth and round-like already, would a fender roll even do anything for the front?

All you gotta know is that, as long as your on springs, you won't need much fender work. Rolling your fenders in the front will only guarantee that when you turn your wheels, you won't rub. Fender rolling is mainly concerned for the people who are on coilovers.

Like alpha said, best you can do is test fit your wheels, drive them, if they rub, roll your fenders (that's what I did). If not then you don't have to. As for road and driving wise, best advised for you to roll your fenders in the rear.

And to answer your question about your 20x9 +20 offset is pretty much the same poke as your x8 + 15.

P.s: Fender rolling is like 10-15 bucks per fender, for a legit non paint chipped roll. Some people charge 35-70. GL and just test it out. Everyone's experience is different, so good luck!

I plan on getting coils sometime in the future, so I kinda wanna prepare it for that. So I think I'll just get all my fenders rolled and deal with pulling when/if I need to.
