i'm currently using 15" 7JJ ET35 with 195-55-15 tyres, front can still clear the fender but not rear, tyre scrap a bit.. even tho i've adjusted the rear camber to -1.8 it's still scrapping the rear fender.. just went to two shops in sunway last week to do fender roll but both refuse to do.. they said the SGTi fender liner making it difficult to do fender roll, they need to open the fender liner first and then need to cut the fender liner a bit.. even tho i've said i'm willing to pay more at both shops but they still refuse to do.. quite frustrated.. maybe i need to find other places to do it
Try here....

i've heard about this place before.. quite well known, never been there yet, not too familiar with USJ area.. i'll try check it out when i got free time
I went there last week. Rm60 to roll per side. In the end i didn;t do it.... coz the fella quite honest. he said my fender the tyre shop already ketuk until almost maximum, so no need to do already.

Guys, thx for the input and discussion guys. Honestly, i dont want to roll the fenders! my predictions, maybe the front wheels can clear the fenders. My concerns are the rear! Im gonna try some fitting, will keep this thread posted how that turned out!

Bro, XlimShady and Maze, post your cars pic here bro. Just some sharing.

depends on rim design.....some may not clear your rear brake caliper (if yours was drum type then no worries)



but et20 rim definately u need to roll the fender a bit....


here is mine (15" rim et20) that even after i add 17mm spacer i still need to grind the edge of my rear caliper after replacing the brake pads (new pads was thick hence the slim space)

Updates: the front wheels cleared but not the rear..it was scraping the inside the sgti fender liner. It was scraping during corners and also on even road as well :(

Bro maze: I don't want to cut the fender lining arch. Sayang la bro..any other options your looking into?

This is how I look at it, I'm into tackling corners. After doing what ever it takes to get rid the wheel contacting the fenders, will I face more issues going into corners quick? If I have to sacrifice comfort and compromising hard corners, I'll change the rims back to non rota. 7j wheel with appropriate offset!
