RUBBING

I GOT 275/35/19 ON MY REAR SSR vienna. NO DROP OR ANYTHING. IT RUBS PRETTY NASTY RIGHT NOW. IF I CHANGE IT TO A 245 TIRE, WILL IT STILL RUB WIT THE STRETCH OF THE TIRE, OR DO I STILL NEED TO ROLL THE FENDERS TO MAKE IT CLEAR. ILL POST PICS AS SOON AS I GET MY CAMERA BACK.

First of all, please dont post in all caps. That is annoying to read and is considered yelling. You need to first tell what kind of car you have. A good rule of thumb to hit VIP style is to roll your fenders anyway. To get the stance of VIP style, you have to have them rolled to get the wheel close enough to the fender usually. Do take pics and then people will be able to help.

I don't think it should be rubbing...how bad is it? Get your fenders rolled.

i was going to roll the fenders eventually but i was told to just by some 245/35/19 and the tires should clear the fenders during normal suspension travel.

Do both. Nothing to lose by rolling.
Your current tires do seem pretty beefy though.

you should be able to see on the tire where it is contacting the fender.

Try to roll it 1st. If it still rubs, then stretch em tires... Still rubs? Play with cambers alittle.

Last resort, pull the fenders!

Don't roll Lexus fenders. Shave them. Buy a cheap dremel and cutting wheels and go to town on it.

If you roll, note the eyelids in the fender lining... you must cut those out or whatever before you proceed or else you will fuck something up and you'll end up with a sad sad fender.
