Will These Rub?

Hi, Im thinking about buyinga set of 18's for my 90 Talon TSi. They come with tires. The tires are 215/XX-18 The Sidewalls almost dont exsist . Are 18's too big? My car has stock suspension by the way. Thanks.

They shouldnt rub. But i would have your fenders rolled anyway to prevent it from happing if you corner hard n stuffs.

Have my fenders rolled?

Feders being rolled, when your car comes from the factory the sheet metel that isnt used, isnt clipped off, hence your tires get cut with after market wheels.
Most places that do body work can do this and some that do wheels and tires can aslo do it.

Do you have any idea what a place might charge for something like that?

You wont have to worry about rolling yoru finders on a 215 45, or a 225 40, however, if you go any bigger then that you will have to roll them.

I had the fenders on my 2g rolled for $100 at a local shop

Better safe then sorry.

They should fit fine without getting your fenders rolled. If you lower your car, then you may want to roll your fenders but you will be fine till then.

Awesome. Thanks alot guys.

Heres a pic of one of them. Im getting all 4 with the tires on them for 500. Think they will look good on a black Tsi?

Agreed. If you lower the car, rolled fenders will more than likely be needed.

im running 19x8 wheels with 235/35/ZR19 on Sprint springs (2 inch drop) and mine don't rub, so you should definatly be fine.
