Anyone rolled their fenders?
I'm getting my Tein SS installed this week, and I figured my bigger wheels and tires might rub the fenders. So, I just wanted to know if rolling the front aluminum fenders is possible?
Thanks
Thanks

Actually my new tires and wheels are 4 lbs. lighter for each corner.
Stock wheel + A046 = 45 lbs.
18x8.5 TE-37 + 245/40 Kumho MX = 41 lbs.

right, IS2000, but the rotational mass is still "heavier" and more burdensome at the point where the weight is further from the center of the wheel (with 18's instead of 17's).
Also, IS2000, are you getting any shocks to match the springs, or are you just going to run the same ones?
Be aware that keeping the same shocks for a spring set-up it isn't made for may hurt the rebounding properties of the shock.
But i guess this only matters if you go to the track, or do canyon runs frequently.
OR, does the Tein SS come with shocks? Im not quite sure

The front should have plenty of clearance for a large wheel/tire combination especially with some negative camber. I have fit a 275/35-18 tire on an 18x10 wheel up front. The clearance problem tends to be the rear fender.

Agree with 93esp, The front should be ok with 245/40/18, but the rear fender may rub without the rolling fenders. thats why I put 235/40/18 all 4 corner, but let us know for sure , so next time when I need tires, I can go for 245/40/18 !! thanks

alex_alex, the Tein SS is a fully adjustable coil-overs system.
I went to my local suspension shop today, and they suggested the front tires might rub the fenders since my Kumho MXs are really tall tires. The only way I can avoid this is to run a very aggressive camber setting which is not what I want.
