Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Branches E. Great Lakes Help! Need to roll fenders!

Hey everyone,
I just put some new 17's on the CSVT and now my rear fenders are rubbing over bumps with 4 people in the car. Anyone ever rolled their fenders? Can someone help me, or is there a shop around here that does it? Any help would be appreciated!

whats the size on your tires?

Hey BeyondloadedSE,
The tires are 215/45/17 but the offset on the rims is 43mm so they stick out a little more than stock.

ok, are they actually hitting the metal or the black plastic inside the fender wells?
mine scrape too with heavy loads and abrupt bumps, but they scrape the inside of the fender wells. have had them on for 2 years and no problems.

Hey Jim,
They are rubbing on the metal outside fender. I have the revised plastic inside fender liners with the indentations for wider wheels so there are no problems on the inside.

ouch that sucks, well ive never experienced that so i have no clue what do to. sorry.

Help! Anyone?

I've heard peoplestick a piece of wood in between the tire and the wall, and have people jump up and down in the back seat... Right gr8ride??

No, I think a heat gun and some time should do the trick... A friend of mine had to do it to his tricked out Civic... He said he used a mini-baseball bat wrapped with a towel, a heat gun, and some major time, and he made his fenders wider to fit the rims...
