Can 9.5 or 10" wide wheels fit up front with coilovers?

Here's what happened to my fender when you go too wide with tires on coilovers and you have a really steep driveway that makes your wheel do things it doesn't want to do.
I had to have it rolled back inside the fender. After the paint started to chip, I had to get it touched up. It still doesn't look 100%, but most people can't tell. I can because I'm OCD. The same thing just happened to the passenger side recently too. Some of the metal took a chunk out of my tire (not enough to cause a leak thankfully) but I'll get it all fixed tomorrow.

I know the pain - I had the same problem with my front fender.
It literally turned inside out. I had to change the spacers from 15mm to 10mm in the front because I was too low with my coilover setup.

Yeah, we're defiantly going to roll the fenders for this setup, anyone who knows fender rolling can get it done without damaging the paint. We just have to hope we have enough room even then haha
