[QUOTE="01yellercobra, post: 16615306, member: 35549"] I'm not sure how the 18" tires compare to the 17", but I recently went with 315/35/17 R888R's and they would rub on a good sized bump if I had a full tank of gas and someone else in the car. Not bad, but enough to make me not want to have it happen again. My fenders are already rolled. They're not all the way flat and I'm sure going that far would have helped. I ended up raising the coilovers a touch and I haven't rubbed since I think. And I've been able to get over speed bumps without dragging my mid pipe. I wouldn't say rolling the fenders is a last resort. I think it's a good idea unless the car needs to stay 100% stock. At the very least it moves the sharp edge of the fender away from the tire so if it does rub it hits a rounded corner instead. [/QUOTE]
