Good, as everyone said: Rolling the fenders will take care of your rubbing issues (well, at least the ones on the car, if you have other "rubbing" issues, that will take an intervention ). Had my fenders rolled as soon as I lowered my car, made a WORLD of difference. Just make sure the guy knows what he's doing and heats the paint a little to make it more pliable or it will just flake off when they roll.

I can take some tonight, unless someone else posts first. I have 20X10.5 rears with 275/30/20 tires, so between the rolling and the slight stretch on the tires there's no rubbing at all
