FML, its rubbing.

richeerich03 · 06-11-2009, 08:41 AM

so i put new wheels on like 2 weeks ago. and it is rubbing in the front.
VMR V710's 19x8.5 +25 235/35

My question is is it possible to roll the fenders in the front?
And if it is who is the man in socal, Long? lol

I really don't want to shave the rim down..

Let me know if you guys have some good news for me...

Thanks...

Why did you go +25 for the front?

richeerich03 · 06-11-2009, 09:25 AM

I like that flush look..

lpphreakx06 · 06-11-2009, 09:45 AM

ooo. What kind of tires are you running?

richeerich03 · 06-11-2009, 09:47 AM

nexen 3000, I think..

CV335 · 06-11-2009, 11:31 AM

The front fenders are plastic so you can't really rolled them. I've read somewhere here that some people cut or shave the thin piece of plastic that "folds" behind the fenders, but honestly you'll probably get maybe 2-3mm clearance at the most. And I wouldn't advice doing that...fender is already thin to being with and might crack.

You have an E90, so you can roll your front fenders. So you should be ok. There's a guy with an E90 here running 19x9.5 in the front! If anything you can camber it a bit too after you roll. If you really want to do flush, get 19x9 with 235 tires!!

CV335 · 06-11-2009, 11:55 AM

Ops e90...my bad.

info@VMRWheels · 06-11-2009, 12:05 PM

If possible...I'd recommend cambering them in slightly and trimming the fender liner. Most often than not, it's just the fender lining that's rubbing and causing all the noise.

richeerich03 · 06-11-2009, 12:46 PM

yeah just this morning I noticed the side wall of my tire with rub marks.. I just want to fix it before it get worse..

I pm'd long this morning.. Hopefully he might be able to help me out..

Thanks guys for your help...

What are you dropped on?

remmib · 06-11-2009, 06:12 PM

Does it rub when turning or going straight forward?

VMRWheels · 06-11-2009, 08:06 PM

LTBMW should be able to help you out by shaving the liners.

I would also agree with Ty. Giving the car a bit of front camber will definitely help.
