Roll The fenders

That's about the only option. Unless you want to try to exchange the wheels for ones with less offset.

[watson80]

are you lowered? if you cant exchange for lower offset all you can do is roll fenders like gt4dr said

[bcware]

is it a hatch or sedan?

[RonnieSan]

You want a higher offset... a lower offset will stick out more.

Go for the 45 offset thats what I have and even on hard bumps I have no rubbing

i rolled my guards at same time as getting my 18"s fitted and don't have any probs with scrubbing

and sorry i have a hatch

Rolling is a very difficult thing if you arent 100% sure of yourself, even then it should be done by a pro. But when it was done on my Jetta, they heated the metal and paint around the wheel well and attached a special tool that, well, was on a roller wheel and it applied pressure to the inside of the fenderwell, then it kinda rolled out.

[KellyC]

where can you get that done?

[felixr]

can it be done at home? and, do you roll them OUT or IN?
