Fender rolling tips?
Has anyone rolled their fenders. I'm running a set of C5 wheels with a 1.25 inch adapter and am getting a slight rub on the outer rear passenger tire when the suspension compresses. I put on new shocks today but it didn't resolve the issue. Any tips? Thanks in advance

if you want to roll them you can do. I got a small grinding bit in the drill and ground the arches down on the inside, the lips on the rear go in like an inch and a half so there is plent on metal there to grind. Then gave them a quick paint over with rustproof and paint. You cant tell if your painting is bad becuse its under the arch not on the face.
I didnt want to roll them because the roads in the UK are salted and it rains a lot. Thus when rolled upwards the lip acts to collets all the s**t from the road and sit there, and if the paint is cracked on the inside when rolling then it rusts though and you dont notice till its on the outside of your arch and its so bad you need to replace it with metal. My pals BMW did this
Plus a $10 milling bit VS. $269 arch roller unless you do 27 of your pals cars for $10 a time is not worth it
