Fender roll or get new tires (sorry for the newb question)

RON1X · 10-29-2009, 11:30 AM

I just got iforged 19s put on with Hankook V12 Evos: 275/30/19 in rear and 245/35/19 in front.

First, I told the installer I wanted 265/30 (R) and 235/35 (F), but he insisted that I would like these better. They look great on the car, and I figured with ATL roads as crappy as the are that I might should listen to the guy. I also searched through the forum and found that some people don't get rub at all with these sizes (some with iforged wheels too).

Of course, I am getting some tire rub now. It's not that bad, but after two days, I don't know if it's worth getting the fenders rolled or just to go back and tell him I want the original sizes I requested (which he said is fine).

My question: How much does fender rolling cost (roughly)? And, what are people's thoughts on going back and getting the smaller tires on (with crappy roads)?

THANKS FOR ANY HELP/ COMMENTS, I am sorry for the newb question (I am new to searching forums, and this is my first thread)

i would go back and get the 265/30s that you originally asked for... i slapped on my HRE's I had from my E46 M3 which had 275/30s on and thought there was no way for me to fit them without rolling my fenders... but i slapped some 265/30s on and i have no issues of rubbing at all even with a full car and my car is lowered too

thanks, I figured that would be the best option. When I sell the car in the future, I really don't want to have to explain why I rolled the fenders (if some how they noticed/ asked). I appreciate the advice!

try getting some 265, unless you really feel you need that little extra rubber on the road.
