    Alright guys short story short, put on some coilovers with my new wheels, which are 17x9 +35 with 245/40/17 tires, my question is everytime i take a left turn or hit a bump my inner fender rubs the tires, what is the best thing to do without raising my car back up or adjusting anything? I love the way it looks so i really don't wanna touch the height adjustments that my friend and I took forever to do....

    P.S. I also took of the Wheel Well since it was ripping off so i though that would be the problem but found out that the front passenger inner fender was rubbing a lot.....


    Any advice would help, lets keep this a friendly thread and keep the smart remarks to yourselves, i know Subaru's aren't meant to be dropped but i am the type of guy that goes for looks..... :rofl:

    Your fenders need to be rolled. You should have probably used a 35 series tire, but for now you need a roll.

    Fender rolling would be your first step, if you decide to pull your fenders, be ready to have regrets, unless you find a really good shop for it.

    P.S. AllPro can roll the fenders for you, for a very good price too.

    You can't roll the plastic....sheesh. Raise the car or get proper wheels and stop being herrafrush.

    The plastic will still hit. It's form molded.

    Yeah I guess I would have to raise the front about an inch and see what happens
