need help with tire sizes. read mesh thread no answer.

[boon240]

i bought some enkei 92 15x7 0 offset. getting tire soon and a drop. 2.5in front and 2in in the rear. i read through the mesh thread but got no answer. what size tire do i need to not have to roll my fender because i don't know how and won't have time to read up and do it myself. any help is appreciated. thanks

So I'm assuming just shocks and springs, correct? for 15X7s you can probably get away with 205/55s or 215/50s. I think.

And as for rolling your fenders, all I did for mine was bang on the inner lip with a rubber mallot. Nothing too special... just took a little while.

ya, forgot to mention that part. can't afford coils right now so some new shocks and springs. i had this car for three years going 4 and this is the first thing i'm able to do to it. lol. car been dead for 2yrs. i felt the fender well earlier and theres a lip, so do i smash the lip in so that its flat with the fender?

[S13Teddy]

Yeah, basically just bang on it with the mallot until its bent all the way back up with the fender. At least, thats how I did it, and it worked fine.

thanks. now will i need to heat the lip. i read the thread on here about rolling fenders and how'll you need a heat gun. Do i need a blow dryer to heat it up before i go to town on the lip?

I didn't use anything but a can of elbow grease and a rubber mallot.

thanks for your help. i'll have to give that a shot tomorrow.

215/50 up front and 225/50 in the rear. That should be flush.

I dont understand why people do staggerd tire set-ups on same wheels. esp. on a daily.

To the OP, if I were you, I'd go with 205/55 all around. On the mesh crew page, my old enkie 92's had that tire size.
