E46 sedan fitment advice, 17x9.5 et 13 rears

[Kielan]

I don't know what's going on with keilan's to make it rub, probably 40 profile on 18's and a shh roll (?) but 17's with the specs you've said will not rub if you just roll the lip flat. I guarantee it. When you roll the lip flat it will naturally push the arch out a little aswell but...

Kielan* if you're going to insult me spell my name right at very least especially since it was right in front of you.

I did have 18s, but if he is going to run a similar look fitment wise he would still have the same problem. My lip was not rolled flat because I didn't want to flare the fender at all. The roll was not "shit", my tires ran wide, maybe that was my problem. The fronts didn't rub at all. Only the rears, and they rubbed a lot. I don't get why that is so hard to understand?

I had a "mild" roll and I rubbed like all hell.

dont know what to tell you

i dont think its alot of work at all.

[Kielan]

its less than cutting the inner lip and pulling the fender, if you take your time its not hard at all but i guess thats subjective.

215/225 should fit no problem with a mild roll.

That guy has done LOTS of fender work though.

Think I could make a 225/40 fit in the rear and a 215/40 fit up front without too much rubbing?

here is a 19x9.5 et 27 with a 235/35.



shits tucked so i know you can fit whatever back there, go get you some 235/35 and 215/35 yokohama s.drives and it will look killer.

quality of the roll will be essential.

Cash.

Test fitting the rears:






Sorry for the iPhone pics, I left my card reader in San Marcos.

isnt that kind of a crazy offset?

i would run at least 225/35or40 on a 9.5

im running 225/35 on my 19x9.5, its a little stretch and poke

Nope, it will look fucking tits when its bolted up.

im a strong advocate against cutting inner fenders, its simply not needed.

just heat up the fenders good and roll them hard. the lip in the fender isnt gonna prevent anything and it will result in a much sturdier fender

That's also because you're a woman.

I'm thinking I will just grind/cut the rear fenders for starters, then pull the fenders from there if I need to.

That would work.
