I'm putting on my new wheels/tires and Eibach Sportline springs on this weekend and was curious if you think I'd need to roll my fenders.

The tire size is 275/35/18 which gives me some room compared to much wider tires, but the wheels are 18x10.5 +32.

Let me know what you think, guys that are running this size tires on sportlines.

 

You can at least try it. I think you might be ok

 

That's what I'm hoping. People who have to roll their fenders on lowering springs are usually running a much wider tire, but my offset is also much lower than many of theirs.

 

Rolled? You'll probably want to look into getting them flared. With that offset, if you dont hit the quarters entirely, you'll be guaranteed to rub. Imagine a 17x10.5 TTM with a half inch spacer...

 

Why did you get a offset like that? Normally a tire that size would be perfectly fine, but with that offset im not so sure..

 

VinR1 what size tires are on your 505A's? Are your fenders flared or pulled?

Because if they aren't these wheels would only be 1/4" wider than your 505A's with your spacers.

 

My stretched 245s rub the quarters on big bumps and entering/exiting driveways. My fenders are rolled flat to the point of wrinkling the quarters slightly

Yes, your wheel would protrude 6mm (.25") beyond mine

 

I'm not sure if our cars have the same exact fender measurements but with other camaros running a 10x5" at 50mm it looks like an inch farther would be exactly how I want. We will see come Friday, I guess.

 

Keep us updated. Im not trying to deter you, Ive tried several combos of rear wheels, offsets, wider tires, etc in search of absolute flush-ness and I dont want to see someone make a costly mistake... good luck

 

Alright, will do. I love the flush look and you are definitely one of the few pulling it off around here.

If I can tuck the tire and the wheel sticks out a bit I don't mind, but we will see.

Plus I know I'll be the first person with these wheels so it makes me even more excited to make them work.

 

Ihave a question guys....why roll the 1/4's instead of trimming them?
is there an advantage over one?

 

Rolled fender lips are stiffer/stronger.
