how to reduce or NOT rub at all.

[JDMxbB]

sup fella's i just got one question. i have 16x8 0 offset rims. on 205/45/16's still want to keep these tires. now how do i not rub. in the front. my rear is fine. i keep hearing roll your fenders. so i did. then i hear camber it.haven't done it. what else do i need to do. please help. i don't know where to start. thanx

you only have 5 options

1: roll fenders
2: camber
3: smaller tires
4: raise the suspetion
5: higher offset

ive got 16x8 and i run a 195/50/16 with no problems.
but then again my wheels are 15 offset.

maybe go with the 15 offset in the front and the 0 offset in the rear

you can space out your front fendes slightly by adding a spacer on the inside of the fender.. There was a thread on here about how to tuck with bags the right way.. I looked for it for an hour and couldn't find it, but i do remember that you can add a 1/4 spacer around one of the fender mount bolts on the inside of the fender/ engine bay area to space out the fenders to elliminate some rubbing, but i dunno if it will really help you, depending on how much you rub now..
if you pop the hood, and study how your fenders bolt up, you can probly see where to add a spacer, it's really just a sleeve that fits over one of the bolts that prevents it from being tightened down all the way.. you may need a longer bolt as well. dont really remember the thread all that much as i glanced at it a year or two ago.. maybe others remember it?

so in other words your trying to say is that the FENDER's will stick out a little bit more???

and will be pushed out just a bit.

thanx.

this suck's. don't want to do any of these.

but it does pay to play.

i've rolled the fenders already.

i dont really want to raise the suspension.

iam already liking the stance of the BOX.

would flares be better to cover it up???

thanx.

It's the front bolt, gotta take off the bumper to get to it.

so i read that thread you gave me. interesting. something i would want to look forward

too.

but would fender flares help out too besides to dis.mount the bumper?!?

[bbszero]

I'm not sure about the flares, I'm assuming there is a lip on them that sits up against the fender lip (that gets rolled up if you rolled them). but i haven't seen any in person. I'm planning on flares soon for the same reason, if so, i figured i'd cut the lip off the flare so it would rub on that.

cutting to ouch! that's something i dont want to do either.

same here haven't seen any in person either.the bbist flares are just to wide for me

though would you know any body else that sells flares for a decent price???

[bbszero]

I've already rolled (hammered) the schitt outta my fenders, i'll cut if the flares will hide it. I found some carbon fiber ones on ebay, there is fiberglass ones also on there, from 150.00 to 200.00 for carbon. i'm not a carbon fiber fan, but they look like good quality. if i get them i'm gonna paint them. they advertise 1.5" wide if i remember right. just search xb flares on there.

looking at the pics of the 2 sets above, there is a lip that goes over the fender lip. so if you rub that already, your gonna rub the flare's lip. unless you cut it off.

where would you cut em off? the FENDER or the FENDER FLARE?!?

how much would you cut???

[bbszero]

I'm gonna have to see when i get some. but i'm prepared to cut at least the lip off the flare.
