So, upon closer inspection of the front fenders, they are plastic, and only have maybe a 1/8th-1/4 in lip on there... I dont think I will need to roll them, or how I would if I did have to, so my question to you guys (mostly petrified rabbit considering you have 2nd gen hatch and are slammed)
1) Do I need to roll the fronts?
2) If yes, how?
I don't see how the front fenders on our second gens could be rolled. If you need more clearance, I think pulling them is really the only way to go.
That's what I thought! Thanks man, I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one lol
Cant pull plastic.
it really depends on what size rim you are running with which tire.. I have not rolled mine, but have a 15x8 with a 20 mm offset. NOW i do have a 165/50r15 on there to fit. They do not rub whatsoever. But even my 15x7 with a 35mm final offset and a 195/45r15 fit without rubbing at my ride height. I can not run stock without it rubbing the fender right near where the bumper attaches, i have worn through/bent the lip terribly there with my winter tires, and now have rust.. but i did roll that edge for about 3 inches.
oh, btw, i am not sure how closely you looked, but my fenders are metal?
quater panels are metel but the front bumper is plastic or at least it is on my kalos which is basicaly the sameQuote:

I had to trim my rear bumper but my wheels stick out a bit.
