How can I modify my wheel well to fit 19"s after rolling fenders (will I need to)? [please read...]
Next week I am finally installing my summer mods (and I don't care that it snowed yesterday here in MA). My issue is with my 19" BBS CHs which have 245 width Toyo sneakers on; I am quite sure I will have rubbing and I am reluctantly prepared to roll the fenders, but I think I will also need to shave the inside plastic of the wheel well. Has anyone done this and can inform me how to go about it, or have any suggestions, ANY input will be of help. TIA.

With my 19" CHs i just rolled the fenders then cut the edge of the wheel liner
it only rubs on the outside edge....i suggest driving around for awhile and let it rub the wheel liner, then when u take them out to cut it will be clear just how far you have to trim them.

Wow! 245/35R19 is pretty large (especially for the front)
With a 235/35 I think you'll have better luck. I'm running 235/35ZR19 Nitto NT555's and don't have any issues rubbing with a 19x8.5 ET35 wheel....
What kind of suspension do you have? That will also be a factor.
