For those that have rolled their front fenders

Were you able to retain the fender liner?

You won't rub unless your running a negative offset. Had that tire size you wanted and no rubbing. I have a -5 offset in the front and rolled my fenders and came out good. With plus 12 you should be good.

You might have to raise it a bit. But rubbing the inner linear isn't bad. When my car was slammed it was rubbin on my amuse bumper clip and it broke so I had to modify it.

you can definitely roll the front fender and still keep the fender liner

wide wheels + wide tires = roll your fenders, no brainer

so jealous of you guys having "pre-rolled" rear fender...

I was able to keep the fender liner. Just shave off the bumper tab and relocate it to the spot right above it. Take a box cutter to the fender liner and cut off the portion on the top that touches the fender. Problem solved.

Have any pictures showing exactly how you relocated it? I'm looking at the FSM and I can certainly understand shaving off the outside bumper tab, but I have no idea what you could have done to keep it.

My issue isn't rubbing the fender, but rather rubbing the liner right where the bump-out is for the front bumper mount. I'm throwing on an oil cooler next weekend so we'll see if I can't get some pictures up once I decide what I'm going to do about it.

I'm running nismo shocks/springs so my ride height is fixed save a pair of spring rubbers.
