I just dropped my car with H&R Sports and the car has 20X9 off set +18, 245/35/20 F and 20 X 10 off set 18 275/30/20 R

Now the front tires hit the fender when I make a sharp turn. Any possibility to do it on the front fender. As far as I know our front fender is made by plastic.

Thanks for the help.

Front fenders are already rolled from the factory, you may need to install M5 fenders, or shave the wheel's center hub plate a little

its doable. ImSortaBigDeal got his front rolled. i got my rear fenders rolled bc my wheels are m3 offsets. you can do it yourself or take it to a reputable shop to do it like EuroRev, SPP and others.

Correct and if you try roll them more, then believe me, you will deform them

Sure, rear fenders are totally different and easier to gain a lot of space, but rolling front fenders the max you can get is 3mm more space.

I have the same wheels as you and the offset of my fronts are +25A. I had to add a 15mm spacer because it was rubbing against the shock on sharp turns. Your car may be doing the same thing. Check to see if there is any metal shaving on the inner barrel of your wheels.
