    You can get ur fenders rolled on the inside and cut away the inner wheel well. But you can only roll so much and cut so much.. if ur rims are too wide.. (Which they rear kinda are) u maybe stuck with it. Or major fender work can be done.

    Yeah if that doesn't work, then talk to Dado about it Ryan.

    Not much you can do, but creep through the streets. The tire is just too tall. When you hit that dip, it was the equivalent of having you car lowered an inch or so (for that split second of compression). If you turned the wheel just as you hit the dip, you created a unique scenario where the tire will pull the fender - just as it would on a lowered car w/ 19's.
