I just got "wind" that when one rolls their fenders accomodate 315's (rub) that the paint will start showing cracks, after a period of time.
Are most in here, who run 315's, seeing this issue ? .....concerned future user. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

i put about 10k miles on my car with rolled fenders... i didn't see any cracking... and i didn't take any special measures to keep it from happening...
i used a heavy piece of pipe wraped with duct tape to bash the fender lip into place.. and then later when an episode of axle hop shot my tire up into the fender lip and pulled it back down.. i just used some channel locks with rubber handles to smash it back in place... never had cracked paint... rocks chips are the real paint problem... don't forget, you actually looked at my car when you thought about buying it... you probably didn't even notice! mostly because the rest of the car looked great |
