Question for those with rolled fender. Did you roll the rears all the way to where it meets with the sideskirt, in front of the rear wheel? And the same with the fronts. Debating whether I need to roll more.

Hope this helps since I'm sure my Q didn't really make sense.

I didn't think people rolled that far. It's mainly the top I thought.

never had to Roll the fronts..Only the Rears...On the Rears only did the Top....You need to trim the Rear Bumper Inner plastic part & bend up some of the metal as well.

There shouldn't be a reason to go that far, unless you just wanted to do it for aesthetics. I don't think I have ever seen it done that low. Your tire will never hit there.

^ Agreed. Try to test fit the wheels you're going to run so you know how much to roll.

sorry i was talking about the rpf1, so i had to run the privat in the front for now. rpf1 is on 215/35r18 18x9.5. i am thinking about raising the car up and put some 255 in the front and maybe 275 in the rear.

Alright, that's what I figured. I think I'm thinking aesthetically. I have already bent up the front metal bumper tab and shaved some of the rear. I was what others have done. Thanks errybody.

Do it bro. Do it. I've been aching to see a tC on meaty tires and RPFs. Who cares that it isn't rwd. No less useless to put 275s on the rear than to slam and fit a car, is it? It's all for fun and looks. Go 275!
