Rolling fenders

I am planing on buying some wheels for my 04 wrx wagon. I wanted to get the Rota P45F 18 x 8" Wheels. I know they are going to rub and wanted to get my fenders rolled b4 I got them. Does anyone know of a good place to get this done @? How much does this usually run?

LIC Motorsports - $275 i believe. What size tires are you going to run? You lowered? I just put coilovers on my 05 STi. I have 18 x 8.5 volks with 235/40/18. I have it set alittle lower than stock and i dont rub. But if you are gonna go real low roll the fenders.

I was probably going to go with 225/40-18 but havent decided yet. As for lowering it, it's stock right now but I was going to go with the tien s springs. Would it rub if I left it stock. I don't want it to look like a monster truck (riding high).

You will have issues with a wagon if you don't. May I recommend you don't use the springs mentioned. A much better choice are SWIFT! wagon specific springs... no drooping butt.

The drop is perfect and the ride/handling is awesome. You can use stock struts but I married mine to KYB GR-2's (affordable). Could not be happier. Images are on my Vb Garage page... check them out!

Thumbs up

Cool, looked them up and they have gotten good reviews and they have a mean stance for the wagon. They aren't very pricey either. Might I ask where you got yours from?

I believe they are +44. They fit perfect.

Edit!!!! I just went and looked at my wheels they are +40. If you go to www.rallysportdirect.com and click on wheels and click on subaru. Click on volks CE28N's 18 X 8.5 and look at the fine print in the detail section. It says for a 05 STi use +40 and for 02+ WRX and 04 STi use +44. Check it out. They do fit perfect though. I love them. I am around stock height right now but i am going to go a little lower. So far no rubbing.

I got mine done at E-Auto (nasioc sponsor) in LA when I was in Socal for school, and they did the rear fenders for $50. No cracked paint or anything, and I don't rub anymore.

Great guys, I highly recommend them if you're in the area.
