Roll your rear fenders. It only takes 15 mins. and it doesn't hurt the car. Plus like chevy says, it's a safety issue when you go to larger tires.

 

Not using larger rear tires yet. But looks like my shop will be doing this next.

 

The question is w standard ride height, does it need to be done? I'd rather not though am not sure exactly what's involved w rolling fenders. Upcoming de and don't want to worry abt that right now. Heavychevy: are your fenders rolled? By your sig I thought you were completely stock.

 

I heard R888 need a lot of camber to work best... and they start to go out after 6 or 8 heat cycles, can anyone confirm? I heard the RA1s don't need more camber and work until they are corded with any amount of heat cycles.

 

I don't mean to sound like a ***** but these are pointless questions. You should not go cramming big tires on your car and have unrolled fenders. If you're running stock wheels, no spacers, stock apect tires, at stock ride height then you MIGHT be ok.

It's so easy to have done, and 100x safer to do it there is no reason for people to be trying to find a way around it. Just do it already. I'm pretty sure it's a requirement for some clubs when you run with them.

Stock ride height or not, if you compress the suspension, which on a stock ride height car, you are probably running stock suspension is going to compress A LOT, you're still putting yourself at risk. Rolling over a curb, high compressive forces due to elevation changes or banking, and that wheel can still rub your upper fender liner, and therefore puts it at risk to be cut down.

If you're on the track, roll the stupid fenders. I've had tires go down (uncut) before and it's not something you feel coming. Other than putting on your seatbelt, this is one of the easiest safety mods you can do if you track your car.

Will cost you 1 hour labor max. If that is too much, you picked the wrong hobby (tracking). Will not hurt the paint (if done correctly).

Someone give me a decent reason for not wanting to roll their fenders and wanting to run Hoosiers and other R-comps on the track and I may change my view.

 

Advan 08's (aggressive street) is another option in addition to MPSC, R888 or Nitto NT01's (R comp). You will feel much better at the track but without suspension work, you probably can't dial in the appropriate alignment to optimize the performance of the stickier rubber and make it last as long as possible. You'll feel like a hero for a weekend but then you'll cord the edges while the middle and inside tread still have lots of meat on them. Everything is a tradeoff Definitely no need to run stuff like Hoosiers. 245/40 and 315/30 definitely will fit, especially if stock suspension. With Neg camber, it is certainly not an issue. Roll the fenders like Heavy is suggesting and keep an eye out for the inner liners which may rub a bit.
