My tires rub a lil on the front when i turn, just wanted to see what is the best and easiest way to push the fenders a little up.

I heard something about a baseball bat before....

 

Go to youtube.com search for it.

 

are they rubbing on the inside or the outside?
mine always rubbed on the frame rail.. but I have a 3 gen so it's a bit diff.

 

if its at full turn its on the inside, meaning rolling/pulling won't help. the baseball bat is for pulling.

 

its on the inside. Its rubbing on the middle part of the inner fender, the one that kinda pops out more than the rest. It seems if i can just push on it with a baeball bat i can just push it inside or soemething.

 

goto your local autoparts store ie: kragen pepboys and rent a fender roller. that will only roll the insides of the fender. i've tried the baseball method; it works but its not very good. if you want a cleaner roll, go with the roller. we've also used the roller for a slight fender pull as well.

 

Umm say what?
pictures speak 1000 words.

Oops, sorry try this bat it's easier to use then the previos images.http://

 

ahh now it makes more sense.

 

You don't need that fender roller, just a bat (hammer works too with some pressure on the outside) and a head gun...

Either way, WTH is rubbing? Is it just me, I don't get it

 

the outside of the tire rubbing on the inner edge of the fender when the suspension compresses.

 

i think the problem is the inside of the tire rubbing the inner wheel well when he is turning. if thats the case, "reshaping" could help or spacers.

 

"reshaping"... wearing down the inner fender lining you mean? if anything i wouldnt be too concerned about the tire rubbing on the lining if its just rubbing a little bit. thats an easy fix. on the other hand if its the actual fender taking chunks out of your sidewall, then yeah you need to do some modifications ie: fender rolling/pulling

 

Ok. The outside edge of the tire rubs a lil, and u can actually see it wearing away a lil, the tire that is. Its just that groove which ill try to pop in.

Those fender rollers are crazy, i didnt even know they make them.

P.S these are not the wheels that rub.

 

Is that the front splash guard? Just bend or pull it out of the way, it's fairly flexible. In the rear you can use a hammer.

That bat/hammer method is used for the OUTSIDE (painted portion) of the fender to gain clearance from the sidewall of the tire.

 

Yea its flexible. Yeap the front

 

Get a heat gun and reshape that section of the fender liner. It's easier to remould it if you take the entire piece off.

 

so is it rubbing the fender or the splash guard? i dont see any cuts in the tire. plus you said it only rubs when your turn? does it rub when you hit a bump?
