Default Fender rolling...
I just put some new 235/40/18 Kuhmos on my car and they are rubbing like crazy. Just wanted to know if there are any write-ups or things I need to know about before doing this myself. Thanks,

Jeff

I'd say do it at a shop... not sure if worth the risk of damaging the paint.

I used a rolling pin on mine - worked like a charm. I had never even seen it done before.

Did you have to jack up the car? Do you use the tire as leverage to bend the lip on the fender?

I did not use the tire - I took the tire off.

Did you remove the screw that holds the fender liner in place. Was that easy?

It may sound stupid but do not forget to take the top bolt out for the plastic inner well.
