16x8 +20 fitment

[ivtec_do_u]

Alright guys I posted in the wheel/tire fitment thread but got no feedback. I have some rota grid offroads sitting in my garage with 205 55 16 tires on them. Cleveland has no competent body shops with a fender rolling tool. How can I make these work without rolling. I have adjustable coils and was shooting for just under a 2"drop. Also got a rear camber kit. Let me know what you guya think and how I can work this.

Lots of camber? Or google how to diy roll your fenders. Or rent the eastwood fender roller.

Baseball bat.

JK. Sell them to me?

JK again. You should keep looking for places or people(EPhatch) who have the necessary tool to roll your fenders. Until then, just sit on it above 2".

how can you not find a place in cleveland to roll your fenders?? how hard have you looked? my buddy got his done in his passat for 40 bucks somewhere downtown.

Called atleast a dozen shops. They only offer the rubber mallet technique. If you can find the name of that shop I would jump at it. With my set up I was thinking maybe a 1 3/4 drop with no more than 2.5* of camber think that would be enough?

[ep3jd]

Maybe. Try it.

[ep3jd]

Actually no, no way. Those tires are way too big.. Get down to 45 or even 50, then probably

i asked my buddy he said he is going to try and pull up the number for you

yeah 205/55/16 is stock tire spec, for stock height

if you lower you'll need smaller tires, especially if you're lowering 2 inches...

with an 1 inch drop you'd be able to pull off those tires maybe... depending on offset

Go 195/50 and slam that ish!

If you guys ever drove in cleveland you would know why having as much sidewall as possible is a good thing. Plus the tires are already on the rims so I need more ideas as to how were gonna get this done

you already answered your own question

roll your fenders.

im sure theres a competent shop somewhere near you...just ask around and look
remember you get what you pay for lol so don't cheap out

expand your search...
try going to a different city near you.maybe they have a competent shop
im in austin im always driving to san antonio(1 hr away) to get parts

or just don't lower it that low...1inch drop is enough imo for a dd
no need to worry about speed bumps or drive sideways up your driveway
also if you researched enough anything past 1-ish inch drop screws up suspension geometry on our cars

you can try adding camber but i doubt thatll effect fender clearance

to put it simple...

1. find a competent shop to roll your fenders
2. don't drop your car as low since you can't roll your fenders
3. get smaller tires

i really don't see any other options lol

Yeah I hear ya man. My car is pretty much slammed and New Orleans roads have mountains appear out of no where sometimes. But the only way your going to make the wheels fit is camber and a fender roll. All I have to tell you is put the wheels on and you will know what to do from there.. That's what I did anyways

You can rent a fender roller and DIY. It's like 50 bucks + shipping and deposit but you'll get your deposit back.

Go down to a 205/50 or if you don't mind a smaller sidewall and the roads permit, a 45 series tire. You should not have to run more than 1* or so of neg camber up front. That tire size will give you sufficient stretch to clear the front fenders with minimal camber and at most bending in of the lip on the fender. No rolling needed outside of that.
