Rolled fenders need some advice

So far so good, but need to hear what you guy's did on the rear most part of the fender where the bumper attaches too. It is causing the fender to not roll from, and tire rubs on that section. did you cut the metal where the bumper attaches to a bit to relieve that stress? I am worried if it would crease the metal.. and have bigger problems.

I am using a 225/45/19 since I want some ride comfort. And got a killer deal on the tires. Maybe the tire hight is too much.. Sorry for lack of pics.. Forgot to get batteries will load some tomorrow. thanks :)

Well I personally didn't have to roll that far back, but I don't see how putting a slit in that lip will mess up the 1/4's.
A clean even roll will come out smooth, just try getting it as close to that bumper line as possible. And while flattening it, don't worry to much about making it super flat, just roll it enough to give you the clearance you need. If ya beat on it too much, it might show through on the outside, and I know you don't want that

Yeah, its kind of done.. for now. I am thinking of getting different tires in front.. but not sure which size. it is a 8.5 it is not stretched at all right now, and i will need some kind of stretch soon. Any guys out here that know of a tire size for a 19 8.5? I was thinking a 205-215 maybe. but not sure what hight. Maybe 225 with a different hight would work too, its 225 45 now.

that is really tall. You could do 215/35/19 or 225/35/19. 215 you will need to go really low to fill up the wheel gap.

Lucky for me I like Low ha! the tires i got for super cheap just to get the wheels on and sell the stocks to a G50 owner. the 18in F50 wheels actually look awesome on the G50 body.

I guess I am just worried about ruining the ride quality. so far it is fine now.. hmm okay well time to search the used tire section on craigslist and ebay haha
