There is a guy in town that can roll fenders.

Wheel Details - Discount Tire Co.

It wont need much rolling. If anything, do the fender lining mod and you may be ok.
It all depends on the drop. And ya, what kind of wheels?

what is the fender lining mod.

I want a mild drop.

basically you just push up on the lining till it rips off the clips and tucks into the lip of the inner fender.


or you can just take the clips off and push it up. either or your clips are going to be gone anyways.

i didnt rubb any on my 16's. but then again your rocking 38 offset which still isnt much either.

I think I should re-order 195 tires instead of 205..

ps do people rub the fronts or the rears

You remove the wheel liner clips. All of them. Push the fender lining up and over the inner fender lip (metal lip) till you hear it pop in place. It takes a little effort to get it past the lip.
Thats it. Only install the 2 clips by the doors so it looks a little better.

Normally people rub on the fender lining and the push clips due to it being under the fender. So anytime the suspension is compressed (bumps and rough roads) the tires rub against the plastic causing annoying sounds.

You dont rip the clips out as SD_MR_FIT said. Thats the fast and lazy way.

[SD_MR_FIT]

i never rubbed on the road driving.


its only when i made a u-turn when i rubbed.
but its minimal.

yeah dont rip it off like i did, my clips were basically gone anyways, so i just ripped the rest off because i dont even need the fenderlining. i didnt want to take my wheel off. correct ray i did it the lazy way.

just as good as doing it the correct way. i suppose.

you will regret gettting the 195 stretched tires because im pretty sure you want to keep your rims looking fresh.
rim protectors are the best.

my rims look horrible now because i stretched my tires, and when driving they didnt have enough meat i guess to protect it on the sides.

but i would stretch the tires i suppose, only because it will give you less hassle.

[Tiffany]

so getting 195 will be streatched, and the 205 are better

[I Am Ray.]

I dont think 195's would stretch much. Stick with 205's. Looks better.
205's are a more common size too.

If you dont want curb rash, dont hit curbs.

[SD_MR_FIT]

pssh un even roads and potholes are what kills me.

stick with 205 it will be better.

[solbrothers]

do the fender liner trick and you should be pretty good. don't PULL the fenders though! that'll dent your fenders.

NO. 42 mm offset stock ride height and 45 mm if lowered. With 205/45x16 tires. You may get away with 205/40x16 tires but you will have 1" undersize tires with %5 speedo and odometer error. (you're actually going 5% slower than speedo says & odo reads 5% more an actually driven.)
