Do I really need to roll my front fenders? lip is so small...

[ac3]

I just rolled my rear fenders. The lip on the front is so small that I'm wondering if I should even bother with it. I'll be running 225/55 all around (15x7.5 front, 15x8 rear) and will be flush with spacers.

yes

If you're lowered at all, yes.

Oversized and spaced out?

You'll likely need to pull the fenders. Why not run a 225/50 so you have the correct OD?

You'll likely need to pull the fenders.

the offsets you're running would be helpful to know, but i don't think you'll need to pull the fenders, a nice roll will do the trick.

if you don't, your tires will catch that small lip and tug and down and mess your whole fender up.

Front wheels are 7.5inch (et 20ish), rear wheels are 8.0inch (et14). I'm not sure what spacers I will need for the front until I lower the car (with billie sports/h&r sports/15mm drophats).


I thought 55's would be the same diameter, at least according to the miata tire size calculator... Plus I figured 55's would look better to fill up the wheel well

Lemme 'splain it like this: it takes hours and hours of sanding and painting to make a fender nice, but it only takes a split second of a bump with the wheel turned to destroy it.

Roll your damn fenders.
