Welcome! Have any pictures of your front fender wells? How you trimmed or rolled the edges?

I actually haven't done anything to them yet, I'm at -2 front camber right now until I have them cut and rolled. I plan on cutting out the front metal and then rolling the lips, as well as rolling the rears. I have rolled fenders on all my other cars so I'm not too worried about getting it done. Any tips on rolling a truck? Doesn't seem like it'll be too much. Also what size tires do yall recommened on OEM 20s with my drop?? Also thanks for the nice welcomes everyone!!

 

[Jimmy]

I need to roll my fenders badly, reason i asked because ive never done it before.
Im at 5/8 on 275/45-20 but id recommend a smaller tire lol

 

[Dakota]

I would run 275/40 or 245/45 if I were you..they are basically the same height but the 245/45s are not as wide

 

[velzga]

Gotcha, do you think that with a roll your size tire would work?? In the front I was gonna cut the top metal part of the fender out, but leave about an inch near the edge so that I could roll that lip so everything comes out looking smooth. I plan on doing it within a week or so and ill be sure to post pics of the result

Cool gotcha, are either one of those going to lower it more? I like the height its at lol, I like the look of a good size tire and not rubber bands so I don't mind doing fender work to make em fit

They are gonna be a little shorter..you could run a 275/45/20 but like jimmy said he had them and wished he had gone smaller..I had them on mine and had very little rubbing but if I went with oem 20s again I would run 245/45s or 275/40s for the extra clearance

 

[Jimmy]

A 275/45-20 looks stuffed at 5/8 on my truck.
I rarly rub, but i dont have rolled fenders so my tire catches the edge every now and then.
At 5/8 on 275/45-20.

Edit: im also mini tub like this..

 

[velzga]

Thanks for the info guys!! Jimmy i like how those tires look on there, where are you rubbing even with all that cut out? Sounds like the 40 series might be the way to go

gotcha thanks!! Where were you rubbing at?

 

[velzga]

Would a 255/45 be a good middle ground?? the prices for that size are actually even cheaper!

 

[Dakota]

255/45 would be a good size too, it's about 3/4" shorter than a 275/45 and a little over a 1/4" taller than 245/45
I was rubbing a little up front when I would hit dips or good size bumps but I wasn't mini tubbed or rolled

 

[bradywells11]

what brand tires are you wanting? truck looks good i love red

I ran 255/40/20 on my truck at around 4/8 and not one bit of rubbing at all. Good sized tire imo for a static drop.

not really sure, was thinking maybe yokohama prada spec X, they seem to have pretty good reviews on tire rack! and thanks!

cool cool gotcha, that seems like kinda a small tire though! Did the sidewalls look okay with that drop?
