You are thinking this is a HONDA problem
that's not the point.
if you roll it this much on a civic EK fender or even my nissan skyline gtr, it still doesn't deform or paint chip like that.
it's the way the fender is cheap.
trying rolling the honda fit fender and then trying doing so on another car. you will notice the difference

Car looks sick! Read most of the things you did how did you roll the fenders with a heat gun, I have heard or a wooden bat and even cutting it but never with a heat gun, but eaither way looks sick. My only dislike and it's rear stupid is the rear camber it is way ttttttoooooo much for me, woud the smaller tire sizre have helped you out on that or when you lower this car it just does that?

Eaither way looks sick a$$ F*@k you did a hell of a job. Can't wait to see it with the body kit, and all the extras your gonna put on there.

there're no way around the rear camber
if you want to run 16X8 + 15 without massive fender flares, u need -6 !
other wise you can run 165/40/16 rear tires, but that means it will roll on the side wall of the tire..no the treads.

if you don't want to run that camber, i suggest you get another rim

Ok got it, was thinking of running 16x7 and I think they make a 35 series tire so would be running 165/35/16.

Thanks.
