Fender rolling

hi everyone, so i just rolled my fender but i realize i had a problem with where the bumper and the car meet. There is a bolt holding it together. Does everyone just shave the fender and have it no bolt? I heard ppl just ZIP TIE it. I need all the room i can get

It all depends. Sounds like you might need adjustable tension rods to handle that caster issue. Then you'd be able to bring the trail back towards center allowing you more space away from where the front bumper meets the fender.

i know what you meant here, but usually those areas are left apart, usually the fenders are rolled then it would've enough clearance already, but for your case as you mentioned that areas are sticking out to the wheels, then shaved is the only answer. I shaved mine last time, it was okay, but i was some serious careful job, you certainly don't want to damaged/screwed your bumper though. Good luck :biggthumpup:
