rubbing?

if i get 17x7.5 kopi alpinas combined with h&r sport springs/Bilstein sport shocks will my tires rub my fender, etc.?

Mine did, Like a bitch.
Rolled the fenders with a bat. They only rub when i have a full car of people

Another one for perspective. They dont rub lock to lock in the front. Thats all i was worried about. The rain picture is the only one i have of the front.

sorry to have to ask this, but what does "rolling" fenders do? i know it makes it so your tire doesnt rub, etc. but do you make them wider, or is it something underneath or what?

what does "rolling" fenders do?

Basically, you fold the lip at the edge of your fender flat, against the fender. Basically the same as cutting the lip off, but stronger and smoother.

Mine rubbed horribly and the tire grabbed the edge of the fender and "pulled" it, destroying the fender.

I used a professional fender roller, looking for the best results. Having done 3 cars now, I can tell you that the paint is gonna crack when it is 20 years old.
