Well just put my Falken Azenis Sports on (225 45 17) and they rub like a [censored] when I have my wife and son in the car. Does anyone know a good place where I can get my fenders rolled or where I can rent a fender roller? these tires stick like freaking glue but i can't push too hard right now because they rub too much.

Any help would be great.

Thx

Fern

I could lend you an old baseball bat....

Not sure of any places that have that tool. I'm not surprised you have the prob as I've head those tires are wider than normal for their size. Hopefully I won't have the same problem with the FM901's I have coming my way.

One of the tire shops in the states rents them out, pretty sure they ship it to you as well. My friend just did his M3 fenders, I'll ask him tomorrow and post back.

Wheel and Tire Zone have a fender rolling machine (tool?).

Thx folks. I may check with wheel & tire zone and ask them. I have Kumho Vicotracers in the same size and do have rubbing problem. Those tires are mounted on 7.5 inch rims with a 42 mm ofset. The Falkens are on 7.0 inch rims with 40 mm offset!?!?!?

Oh well i will try wheel & tire zone and if anyone else has any other suggestions please post as I am still open to them at this point.

thx
