I'm sure Jeff (Pxl) rolled his, along with many others.

What's your query exactly.

I got my new wheels and they are rubbing. went with a +35mm offset as the guy recommended saying that they wouldnt rub.

now that they are on, with two people in the back the rear rub like crazy.

so now i need to find a fix, and returning the rims aren't one of them.

thanks again/

Go buy, or rent yourself a Easton fender roller and DIY. It is one of the easiest things you can do. just make sure you use a heat gun on the paint and make sure you don't crack the paint.

may be If you get 225/35 tires.......... I have 19x8.5 but with 42 offset no rubbing.

I was thinking of the same thing....i wanted to go 19's on my Gen1, but i dont wanna have to role fenders. Are 18's a better idea....i'm lowered on TRD springs....nothing spectacular.

19's look great on the car, i think i messed up with the offset, im thinking a 40 would have been better like rollaevo.

but too late now, so im thinking i will just roll the fender. how much do u think a shop would charge?

hmmm. I think something is wrong with my sound... I couldn;t understand a word the DIY guide was saying.

Depends on your wheel offset, yadda yadda yadda... mine is 30 so I rubbed before trimming (not rolling) my fenders. They would still rub if I had them rolled unless I actually flared them, and I'm running 225/45/18s.

When I go to 19" rims with 40 offset then I'm going up to 245/40/19s to get some width back in my tires! :up:

how did u trim it ? with a grinder or something?

by **Aotoyota** » Sat Nov 01, 2008 12:59 pm

for the so cal guys without a grinder or an airsaw..

I just went the wheel supply out in Walnut and they cut my fender out.

was $40 per fender, we couldnt roll since the fender is double metal and
pretty thick from the chunk that he cut out.

rolling the fenders?
