This may be a newbie question, but i am a newbie. Do I need to roll my fenders if i want to change my wheels from stock to 19x8.5f and 19x9.5r with Brabus monoblock v wheels?

i have 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 235/35 and 265/30 tires and there is a little rub...but its nothing to worry about...

should not be a problem

I have that setup and what brabus told me was that if the car isn't lowered then you dont need to roll the fender but he said I should if the car was lowered so I have all my fenders rolled, with no rubbing. My car is lowered with eibach springs.

what exactly does "rolling your fenders" consist of and can you tell from looking at a car that they have been rolled?

nuttertmf

you cant tell from the outside if the fenders have been rolled...from what I have been told rolling your fender is moving the inside part of the fender in by millimeters.

I've had my fenders rolled on my E class. No way you can tell by the outside appearance at all. The fenders get rolled from inside, you can tell by touching the inner fender. They roll the lip inward, or wherever rubbing occurs.

unless the person doing the rolling doesn't pre-heat the area being rolled and makes ur paint crack. just go to a reputable place to do it and u should be fine.

you can tell that Felix's fenders have been rolled.

Thanks for the pic Nuttertmf. Nice ride and it sits just right on those Monoblocks.
