Rubbing fender.

[dito]

Hey guys, so im lowered on st coilovers and running 245/40/18 on 18x9.5 +34. Im lowered to no finger gap and rub when i go down dips and driveways and i get a weird grinding, scraping noise when going up driveway but when i check it wasnt my front bumper or anything. I havent got an allignment since they told me to get camber bolts so i can camber the front a bit more to clear the tires. i dont rub or scrape if i go slow enough. What should i do?

Roll your fenders

I'm on 245/40/18 with 18x8 and it rubbed on turns when I first got them. You need to roll fenders.

Oh okay. But i read on some ither thread that thhebcar comes "prerolled"

I'm on the a similar setup but +38, I don't have any rubbing on the fender, but I do have a nice shiny spot towards the inner wheel well.

Semi-rolled but you can always roll it more.
Check the side marker and the rear bumper tab to see if you are rubbing there. And possibly the inner fender well in the front.

THIS.

People keep telling me to get my fenders rolled too but it's already rolled from the factory. So I thought to maybe get could get the fenders pulled instead but Evasive Motorsports told me the fenders CAN'T be pulled on our car.

Just walk outside and check your car instead of reading what you see on the internets. Not that hard. Check the fender near the side marker, that small lip can be rolled. And then roll the rest of the front fender you can get additional clearance from semi-rolled(factory) to medium roll all the way to flat rolled crease. You can pull the fender but it is difficult and not recommended as the sheet metal/paint is very very thin, thus very difficult to do, no one wants to chance it. And if you pull too much, the area above the quarter panel may dimple in. I did a mild/medium roll on mine.

Ummmm... have you done what they said you needed to yet?
By doing what was recommended you just may not need to roll the fenders.

I would take care of that first before you start doing other things.

You're definitely rubbing on your sidemarker...it happens not much you can do if you don't want to go with a smaller sidewall...

I do appreciate the info about pulling the fenders though and it obviously falls in line with why Evasive Motorsports is telling me that it can't be done. Because they are more so trying to be safe which I do appreciate because I'd rather a shop be looking out for my car.

But on the other hand, where exactly did I mention that I read anything regarding fender roll on the internet? You're correct, "semi-rolled" but rolled nonetheless from the factory which I did mention.

I do suppose that it's partly my fault because I should've have been more clear. People keep telling me to roll my fenders because I'm running 18x9.5 +34 wheels all around with the stock TRD springs and they immediately jump to "it won't fit right...you'll have too much poke and it'll rub". I have no rubbing issues whatsoever with the factory "semi" fender roll. And the only reason why I want a pull is because the slight poke does bother me a little. I have an appointment at Evasive tomorrow to get my camber bolts and alignment done so hopefully it'll eliminate some of the poke...or at least enough to calm my OCD haha

I'm running 18x10 +18 super low literally my rim is a finger away from the fender, I honestly don't rub unless I do a U-turn
I have 225/35 tires with pull and rolled fenders

If you rub you either need more camber or smaller tires
