I think rolling fender is a great thing to do for safety. Cause fender as stock are cutting like a knife. If you rub your tire hardly on it, you can blow it easily and have an accident.

Rubbing is the issue that I was debating with my 17x7 wheels at +40mm offset and 215/40 tires.

Good idea... U can always lay something in the engine bay to make sure that none of the electronics under the hood gets wet.

Old Skool fender rolling at its best!

Most shops will use a fender roller (bolts onto the rotor) for around $20 a corner... if you want to do it right, and not risk fukin up the paint!

Right! It's a "must-have" for 17" with lowered suspension! A real great 80$ investment for safety and to prevent breaking your new car!!

215-40-R17 not a good tire size.

Tire will stick out beyond the rim (as viewing from the sidewall).

Best to go with 205-40-R17.
