    it does crack the paint to bend the rear fender lip. you have to use a heat gun to soften it so that it will bend with the metal.

    just take your time and it will work i did it the ghetto way when i got mine and i regret it because it messed up a bit. just do what he said and it will work. VTW you're welcome, and they look very clean with a sharp edge. try not to lower the back by much since it lowers quite a bit already when stock.

    Very nice wheels, definitely suits the car! But you have to lower it now :) Heat gun (don't make the paint bubble though, just enough heat to make it quite warm so its more plyable) and something round to slowly bend the lip in, like a baseball bat...

    just use a baseball bat to roll your fenders. That's what I did the first time I rolled them. Pinoys represent!

    don't sweat it at least you go something that you are comfortable with. i'd rather pay 600 than pay the 2200 i paid for mine with tires! Plus it changes the look of the car comepletely.

    Nice wheels. Looks like WANLI S-1088 tires on them - how do they run?

    You can find lots of links to rolling the rear fender lip to help with clearance issues. i found that on mine - it actually rubbed on the plastic trim on the mudguard first. Cutting the top bit of it helped for some bumps - but eventually I ended up rolling the lip. Like some have mentioned - use some heat and go slowly and you should end up with good results. If the paint does crack - you can always repaint it.

    Sweet - killer deal on the wheels and tires. Just keep an eye on the rubbing until you get that squared away. I had a set of Yokohama ES100 that got pretty chewed up in a few hundred miles before I had a chance to roll the fender lip right.

    i don't know about those tires.

    when they need to be changed, replace with some quality rubber from kumho, dunlop, michilin, yokohama, falken....

    yeah... but im not looking into buying new ones for about 2 years... i hope they would last... coz the reason i bought these rims is because i needed new tires... so i just put more money into it and got new rims as well...
