Rolling the fenders?
I've heard this on the site before.....but what is it mean exactly, and how do you do it?
The reason I ask is I have an aftermarket set of wheels from 5zigen and they rub a bit on the rear only when even you hit the smallest dip or hump on the road at highway speed.
Can anyone help with this?
Oh, and I have just stock suspension.

Look up a tool called a eastwood fender roller on youtube and you will see how easy it is .
I actually own this tool and rent it out for a small fee but you car kind of far for shipping .

Basically you roll or fold the small inner lip of the fender in so it doesn't rub anymore. If you haven't done it before, I wouldn't recommend trying on your car by yourself. I've seen some people try on their cars and they crack the paint or worse. Have somebody give you a hand and you'll be fine.

Every car is different but lucky on Evo's you all have wider fenders so you all can fit lower offsets without a problem , on other hand my lancer was rubbing on everything with a 2.5 drop and with a 40 offset .
