I use 275/50/15 Nitto drag radials & they fit with proper backspacing. I like them a lot. Something happen to the motor?

I've got 275/50-15 BFG G Force on my Regal. If you have lowering springs you may run into an issue with the tires rubbing the on the wheel lip on the 1/4 panel. I like them alot, they really fill the wheel opening and work good on the street. Hopefully see how well they work at the track soon.

I am running the Eibach 1 inch drop springs in the front, I had them in the rear to but the tires were rubbing on the wheel lips so I had to go back to the stock rear springs. For now. I am planning on rolling the wheel lips so I can put the rear drop springs back in and stuff the tires into the wheel wells.

Yea i need to roll my fenders also but i have chrome trim and dont know hwo to go about it .....
Plus i have a very expensive paint job , probably have to heat the paint when you roll it huh?
Wonder if there are any threads on rolling fenders .... Mine will 100% need it ..


I have 265/50/15 on it now and they rub on the drivers side ....
I have air shocks but want the car to squat on take off..

A heat gun and go slow, take your time...the eastwood fender roller is a very good tool. I used it on my wagon and it came out great, I have 275/60/15's on the back and they don't rub with a 1.5" drop.
