In Reply To rolling fender lip under? posted by GShort24 on February 04, 2003 at 09:06 PM
     
Message feel along the inside of the wheel well, you'll notice there is a "lip" on the inside. By rolling or bending it up, take lot's of care doing this, the tire won't rub on it.

I found that the worst thing though is where the body metal and the rear bumper are flanged together, at the rear of the wheel well. When the rear suspension travels up, it also moves to the rear. I had to take a die grinder with a carbide bit and take off about 3/8 inch of material right where the bolt is.

Keep in mind too that it's not just wider tires that cause rubbing problems, if they are wider AND taller it gets even worse. I run 275/40 18's on the rear and they are 27" o.d., most run 35 or even 30 aspect ratios.
