Default fender rolling question?!?!

so, i need to roll my fenders sometime soon cuz i keep rubbing tire on my rears. im on stechs right now with 18' rims +37 with 225/40 tires. but, im upgrading to tein basics and planning on maxing out. so, i need to roll my fenders. but my qestion is, would i need to roll the fronts also? cuz the fronts dont rub right now on the stechs. i was only planning on rolling the rears. any input would help. thanks in advanced

If you're gonna max out the Tein Basics, I would assume you would need to roll. You might not, I'm not a 100% sure but I wouldn't doubt it if you're rubbing a little now with 18's and you plan on going lower.

u could roll it yourself if u know how to. theres plenty of methods. theres one where u use the actual fender roller which is a really really expensive tool. then theres the pipe. then theres the rubber mallet, and then theres the newspaper methor. im mostlikely doing the newspaper one. if you do it yourself, make sure to use a heat gun so ur paint doesnt chip off

One can do the fender rolling theirself, it's that it'll take a longer time to get it done if not experienced with it, but you can also do some damage if not paying attention. Also have to use the heat gun to minimize paint chipping. I could have done the fender rolling myself on my 89 Celica but let a friend handle that, just skipped the heat gun part as the car is going to get repainted anyways. Their was rubbing in the front on hard turns(it's lowered on Eibach springs and rides on 17" OEM tC wheels) and was surprised the little bit of rolling that could be done helped out, along with removing a screw holding the fender liner. If my coilovers ever arrive I plan on doing the same and get all four corners rolled, but looking at the front there's not much to really work with, it might lead to a slight pull/flare, IDK. Where's the aggressive wheel fitment people at? They can tell what can be done, or recommend.

Dropzone, what size and offset wheel do you have?
To fit my 18x10 +20/26 wheels, I had to roll and flare the front and rears, and I'm currently running roughly -3.5 camber in the rear, and approximately -1 in the front, but I need more camber in the front. I also needed to shave the parts of the front and rear bumpers where they meet the fender.

^Nothing aggressive on the tC yet, just the 18x7.5 +42 TRD(RS 5.0) wheels. Been debating spacers but could put that to some wheels, IDK yet. The 89 Celica has the 17x7 +45 OEM tC wheels with a 25mm spacer for the rear. I don't know how aggressive I want to go with wheel sizing and offset, but know fender work is in store if I want the car set low a good bit.
