May be getting rid of the car?but regardless?tell me about your 20?s that do not rub without rolling the fenders.
I have 19?s now that I love?but under certain conditions they rub ever so slightly?neighbor has the same set up but with Michelin PS2 as opposed to my Michelin PS A/S and his don?t rub?I think the extra rubber on the A/S is just enough to make it rub on occasion
So?having said that we (my neighbor and I) are both interested in your 20? setup (tires, wheels & offset) that you are running on your sport that does not rub
TIA

Mine does not rub at all after rolling the fenders. Well, it is not exactly rolling the fenders, what i did was just hammering the inner part of the fender. It will not do any damage to the fenders at all.. I can't exactly explain the part where i hammered but i may post a picture up on the part where i hammered once my computer is being serviced.

Hello soc_fans, when you "hammered" your fenders what type of hammer did you use? Did any paint chip or crack?

My 20" set up required fender rolling, twice. I have the PS2s but have heard the tires with a more rounded shoulder will reduce the chances of rubbing. I had a local performance shop do the rolling and and very pleased with the results.

Ok no.. this will/should clarify.. if you get 20" wheels it does not mean your gonna rub or have to roll your fenders.. those people who have had these issues have had a rong setup whether it be the tire or the rim.. adding springs to the factor makes these issues (rubing, and having to roll fenders) more likly to happen but still not a definate.. I know many people here including myself who have not had any issues with rubbing or having to roll fenders even with our cars lowered.. so to put it to you this way.. find the right setup for the car and shouldn't have any of these problems..

I have a staggered 20" setup. I didn't have to roll my fenders in the front nor the rear. I have fit up to 5 people in the car without rubbing. Rim and tire specs are in my sig below. 
and it's lowered too...
