    Fender flares help

    So I'm having bad rubbing issues I'm thinking getting fender flares IF after I lower the car and the natural camber isn't enough to stop the rubbing. Anyone here put fender flares on? What size do i need? Also do you think the camber will be enough to stop the rubbing. Thanks

    Don't think you'll get any camber out of the rear by lowering

    Rear won't gain much camber if any. Rear torsion beam doesn't allow adjustment. Only way is cut and weld which is dodgey,
    Maximum front camber is around 1.9 degrees or something with camber bolts.

    What about fender rolling? That might be something that can be done.

    yes check local body shops there should be one around with equipment to roll fenders. If they use heat gun and take time the damage to paint will be greatly minimized.

    I would find a body shop, have them literally cut the fender, then add new fender flares to finish the look off smoothly. If you are up to the task yourself, you will need a grinder, fender flares as a guide on where to cut and to put on, paint, and glue/welder/rivits (depending how you attach it and what material said flares are made of), and a ass load of patience..... oh and bondo with sand paper to fill out holes or uneven spots.
