I have recently installed 5mm spacers in the rear running along with 255/40/18 tires and they are currently rubbing. Every time I ride over bumps or bumpy roads, the inner fender would rub and slightly slice some rubber off of the tires. Anyone knows how to roll the rear fender without damaging them? Thanks

Take it to someone who really knows what they're doing or it can be a disaster.

I *thought* I took mine somewhere that knew what they were doing but I was sadly mistaken. Fortunately they paid to have it fixed and done right.

I would say though, if you had access to one of those Eastman Fender Rolling tools and had a heat gun to heat up the metal/paint thoroughly then I would try the DIY route. Otherwise be prepared for lots of cracking paint and a not-quite-so-perfect roll.

I too have the same issue. Mine is only very slight rubbing on the sidewall. How much clearance can you gain from this and would you go to a body shop to get it done?

It's actually EastWOOD and their web site has a lot of cool stuff, like their HOT powder - powder coating system. I think I'm going to check it out!!

Not a max and not a baseball bat, but you'll get the idea.....

b4 u go rolling, double check to see if its just one side, its possible ur beams off whack.

i use 8mm spacers and run 255/40/17s and dropped on jic's and i dont rub, but i know my beam is aligned properly.

just a thought.
