Fender Rubbing Problems

[Wesley Vocino]

Hey guys, as the title says, I am having some fender rubbing problems. My old tires were pretty worn out so it was not rubbing anymore. Now I just bought some Federal Super Steel Tires and im scared into running into this fender problem as I did when my old tires had more thread.

When I was having my tires installed, I mentioned my problem and was told they had a tool to roll the fenders. But they said it would not change anything, due to the way my fenders are made.

Does anyone know how this fender problem can be fixed on an e30?

Roll dem bitches anyway!! Gonna have to get lower profile tires. There is a huge thread about fitment already made, alittle searching never killed anyone. What size wheel and tire are you running?

17 inch 215/45R17. Just bought new tires!!! So I cant get lower profile for a while!!!

Then you lose, roll your fenders and hope that helps a bit.

Yup, unfortunately the proper size for that fitment would be 215/40-17. You're a size too tall... you're probably not rubbing on the fender lip (where a roller would help) but further inside and up. Unless you get the fenders pulled drifter style there's not much you can do to the bodywork.
