Not entirely true I have a stock ride hieght car. With the black zr1's and 315 sumitomos I had some rubbing on hard turns.. ie 30-35 turns in residential areas.

Anyways we had to hammer the area most people point out, though we didnt need to adjust the bump stop any. The adjustable panhard rod was needed to hlp re center the rear tires.. as initially the drivers side tire stck out pretty far compared to the passenger side tire.

When I re-centered the tires, thats when i noticed rubbing.. as I then had less room on the drivers side and tons of room onthe passenger side.

depends on what tires you go with. Which ones are you looking at? Nittos fit fine, go with a wider 315 like the gsd3s and you will more than likely have some BFH

If you're lowered, be prepared to hammer the inner fender wells and roll the fender lips.

****.....I was hoping not to have to do that....does everyone go through that being lowered?

Do I need to have the fender rolled right off the bat or can I wait awhile?

also does anyone have pics of where needs to be hammered?

It can be done several ways, the two most popular are a wooden bat or a fender roller from somewhere like Eastwood. The later can be found at some tire shops and on this forum. Both require the use of a heat gun to lessen the risk of cracking the paint. All you are doing is pushing up the inner lip of the rear fender that sticks out so that it does not cut the tire to shreds.
