    24.5x9x13 slck touching fender

    my brother has a b18 turbo crx which had 22's before we upgraded to the 24.5 slicks. the inside clearance is ok but the fender sits on top of the tire. need some helpfull ideas to raise the car a little to clear the slicks. we rolled the fenders and it helped a bit but i'm worried about after a fast run and braking the fender will come down on the tires and thats not good at all!

    thanks for your help guys!

    So what solution did you find?

    Fender flares?
    With some cars you can take a second set of fenders, carefully measure
    the fender opening profile and cut the profile out with some extra metal
    around the opening. Take that section and position it above the normal fender lip by
    the appropriate amount and weld/rivet it in place. Cut out the original metal,
    do the body work/paint and it looks stock, but the opening is higher up.

    Most people can't tell that you did it unless your car is beside an identical car.

    and if you need help with this, call me when you get the second set of fenders.
    I can do it all and then leave the body/paint up to you.-Bob
