My 002's don't rub anymore!



+



=



Hellz yeah...Just took a little elbow grease and some patience. They're not completeley rolled, just gave them some lovin. Doesn't rub one bit when it's just me and the wife. Rubs a teeny tiny bit when there's people in the back but that's rare...so I can live with it. No pics because you wouldn't even be able to tell that I did anything.

I want to get some OTG camber shims but I've got a list of other crap I have to do before I buy anything: inspection due this month, front end needs alignment after putting the rims back on last week, oil needs to be changed soon, I have a nasty rock chip on the driver side rear fender that I have to get fixed...

I currently have 002's also, only except I have 15x7 in the front and 15x8
in the back, I rub a little, But I'm getting ready to throw my other 15x8 on
in the front.

So the question is, do have any rubbing in the front or is it just the back?

Just the back. I've never rubbed in the front.

I just rolled my fenders last weekend. Rented the roller. Actually had to use the same method for one spot the roller couldn't reach. Now, my tires are rubbing waay up on the body. LOL

Yup, the rolling tool was nice. Heat it up and slowly get it to where you want it. The wheel on the roller was too big to get the lower front section on the fender though. So, had to go a bit old school on it. :D
