fender rolling???
ok so im going to be getting the XXR 513 or 002's... i know everyones got them but they are sooo good looking. im wanting to get the 15x8's with the 0 offset but im really afraid of rubbing, cuz im on air. i know i can roll the rear fender to fit the tires with the help of camber shims. but im worried about the front. i dont know if it really is a good idea to roll the front finder that much, allot of its plastic and i dont think that will roll to well. should i stay with the 15x7 with the 32 offset in the front or do you think i can roll the front out enough where i can set the box down all the way and not mess up my fender? thanks!!! if anyone has pics of a bagged xb with any this type of set up that would be great to

I've never seen a successful 15x8 with 0 offset unless there is a minimum height. If you can find a 5-15 offset, you could throw on a little camber (cusco plates, camber bolts, or both) and it should clear.
Here's a 15x8 with 0 offset. The drop is on Goldlines (2"). Notice how much they are poking out. You would need a -5 camber on the front almost to tuck that. I don't think that amount of camber is possible.
Here's a 15x8 with +5 offset (+15 with 10mm spacers). You could tuck this with very mild camber and a little bit of rolling of the front fenders. You might need to remove the plastic fender liners if you want the tuck.

here's mine with 15X8 0 offset. Gonna have to space and stretch your fronts as well as roll them and camber them to get them to tuck. I'd go with a staggerd setup, maybe a 15x8 +25 or 15x7 +15 up front, and the 15x8 0's in back.
forgot the pic!

I rolled my rear fenders and it wasn't that bad. Before you start, I recommend buying a touchup paint kit for your exact paint color.
Scion uses a strip of seam sealer on the inner fender lip (to protect against rock chips I'm guessing), and that peeled off right away. I had minimal paint chipping, even though I took my time and used a heat gun. Next I used my touchup paint: primed, painted, and cleared the inner lip where paint or seam sealer came off.
I'm happy with the results, and my wheels fit much nicer now. Time to wind down the coils a little more

This just in. I've rolled my fenders and have 18x7.5 +38mm offset. I've spaced out the wheel at 38mm and it looks damn near flush. I'm dropped on Tenabe DF210s (2.3" drop). I'll snag some pics when I get the chance... right now my box is dirty as hell.
