    you read wrong. If it were true, every e30 on her would be rocking H&R oe springs so they can clear their tires lol

          Yes and no. Yes you can roll the fenders but no you can not roll late model rears flat. At least not with out some pre prep. What you need to do is chisel or wire wheel all the undercoat thats on the inside of the lip before you roll the fenders. Makes all the difference in the world. Also the late model inner fender has a little bump on it. You have to carefully tap it flat. If you tap to much or too hard you'll mess up the quarter panel. One of the benefits of an early model is now thick under coat or bump.

            Still hitting the rim even after the additional fender rolling, guess i've got to raise it up a bit. Weird that no one else has had this problem..

                Do not roll your fenders it looks poor , just get camber plates in the front , and camber corection kit for the rear

                i am doing it to
                but maybe i will go with 195/45 tyres
