 I wasn't sure what thread to put this in, soo hopefully this is the right thread lol. Anyways I just installed my springs saturday and I'm having rubbing issues with the front driver side fender. I rub when I'm on a right curve and on certain bumps. When I brought my car I had a dent the front driver side fender which I never fixed because its like a grand just to fix it lol. Do you think the reason I rub is because my fender has a dent? I'm probably not gonna be fixing my fender anytime soon since I don't have the money. But I've been thinking about rolling my front driver side fender. Has anyone rolled there fender here? And if you can you give me some knowledge about it.

Since I'm in class I will post pictures up close of the the dented fender.

PEANUT BUTTA & JELLY TIME!

I got a question for you, the rubbing on bumps seems much less to do with the drop and much more to do with the diameter of your wheel. Did you change the overall diameter of your wheel when you installed your 18 inch wheels?

 someone once told me its better to adjust your springs t your rims than to adjust your rims to your springs. you could go the other way but your springs will be less noticeable.

 What springs are you dropped on? Run a 225/40 and you'll be fine most likely. I'm slammed on coilovers and I don't rub with rolled fenders. Your offset seems like it would fine but your tire is a bit on the wide side for a 7.5" rim.
