View Full Version : To fit 275s, roll FRONT fenders too?

In order to run 275s or 285s, do you need to roll the front fender lips? I'm planning to run 275 40 17s on some 17x9s with -3 camber front camber and about -1.6 rear camber (for autocross). I'm hoping that I only need to roll the rears. I've got the fender roller now but I need to return it soon, so I have to make some decisions!

Thanks.

I just "pulled" the fenders out.

How does one "pull" fenders???

Knowing Robi, he just grabbed the front fender with his hands, leaned back and pulled until there was clearance. Free upgrades such as this do not fit my budget. I usually find the most expensive way to do something. LOL

dun think so goku... 255 will fit in the back all tucked in a lowered with just rolling so fronts should be more than fine.

it depends what type of rims and off set you have as well as suspension. The suspension that i have along with the rims which are 17x8.5 +40 off set fit nice but clearance is barly there. To be safe i had the rears fenders roll to have enough clearance (since before rolling it was less then an inch)

pretty close to the truth...the fronts have MUCH more clearance than the rears I'm currently running a 9.5" rim and with the wheel adapters to widen the front end for suspension clearance I'm rumnning an efective offset of +18....and need the wider carbon fenders to clear...

I rubbed my 275's in the front a bit. Beat them and finally just cut out the offending parts of the wheel well...
