I actually thought about that but haven't heard of anyone else doing it. My only worry is that it would become super sharp and cut the tire if it ever rubbed
@@StreetInspired1 I initially rolled my fenders mildly and still rubbed. So I trimmed the fender the second time because I was scared to "bacon" the fender. The fender is not any sharper.
I've test fitted 18x9 +32 wheels with 245/40/18s tires on stock suspension, and I'm getting a slight poke. I'm curious as to how much wheel well did that OLM S209 kit add to each fender? I am seriously thinking about getting this kit. BTW, subscribed.
That’s the worst you’ll ever get on the rear. I’ve had the same 25mm spacer on my 2020 for over 6,000. I wouldn’t even bother rolling them. You’ll probably do more damage. I’m also on the tien type s lowering spring. And for some reason they rubbed more when I wasn’t lowered.
Been on the car over 2 months now and they're still holding up great and we've head some fluctuating cold and hot weather, some rain and these things have seen quite a bit of highway speed.
Damn! When I went to order mine it actually said "estimated to ship in 56 days" and I didn't even realize it and ordered anyways and it showed up 2 days after I placed the order.
@@StreetInspired1 I’m still waiting, I also talked about you on the video I’m putting out next week. I am putting it together now, it’s about what you inspired me to do.
Yeah you could ! I’ve been running 25mm Perrin wheel spacers from subispeed on my stock suspension and stock wheel 2020 wrx with no problem for 1 year now
I will also have a set of STI wheels with less than 500 miles on them as soon as my TE37s get here. Anyway get back at me, I'd like to get back around some subbi people, sold my 04 STi back in 07 and was definitely in the top 3 worst mistakes I've ever made.
It can. Thats what I'm worried about. Shouldnt really damage them, but can make them not line up right. So if I roll them I'm going to have to be very careful. Im hoping the smaller sidewall tire will fix the minor rubbing
Rolling won't, but pulling will. Just need an experienced person to do it who knows these fenders. The fronts are thinner (obv) and have a u shape to them, so you can't get that v type bent to them to make them that much thinner and flatter. The rears are L shaped so you can really pinch them together and gain like 1mm-1.5mm of space or something like that
Not without some kind of modification. But in theory if you heat them up and cut the tabs off the back they should mold to the shape. But the flare peice is actually supposed to go overtop of the factory badge.
I actually made them with vinyl and a vinyl cutter. I tried finding actual enkei caps to fit but couldn't manage to find any to fit. Here's my video on that. th-cam.com/video/N8NXL80ko10/w-d-xo.html
Man it looks so good with those flares. With the wider tires it's going to look really badass!
I like your mindset.
You could also run 2 to 3 degrees of camber in the front and rear and that will help.
You could always trim the metal piece of the fender that is normally rolled and you wont have to worry about effecting the flair.

@@StreetInspired1 sand down after
you know that lip has a job right...
Damn i feel like cutting the fenders would be the only way to keep the car low and have flares on

It adds 3/4 of an inch or about 20mm
@@StreetInspired1 thanks!
Hey man car looks fresh !!!! What are your offsets cause I want to get this but my wheels offset are +22
Mine are +15 18x9.5 rubs like hell without roll
i don’t understand what would be rubbing? you have hella wheel gap...
I would call it "Hella gap" if you skip to 8:10 you'll see there isn't much gap at all.
And its the tire rubbing the bottom of the 1/4 panel

Maybe ill let it go then! I've driven it probably 100 miles more since the video and it hasn't rubbed but maybe once again since.
I wonder if that's because the stance of wheel changes when lowered so it tucks in more
how is the body kit holding up with just the 3M tape?
Been on the car over 2 months now and they're still holding up great and we've head some fluctuating cold and hot weather, some rain and these things have seen quite a bit of highway speed.
Man I did that same thing and now spacers are on back order for 2 months!

@@MoJoNinjaGarage thats awesome! Thank you! I've checked out your channel as well and you put out some great content as well!
@@StreetInspired1 🙏 thanks I’m trying.
@@StreetInspired1 it means a lot to hear you say that!
so could i get 20mm spacers instead of 25 i have stock everything
Yeah you could ! I’ve been running 25mm Perrin wheel spacers from subispeed on my stock suspension and stock wheel 2020 wrx with no problem for 1 year now
20mm would probably be perfect for stock body. Shouldn't have any rubbing and It will make the wheels sit much more flush!
@@slatty2457 i heard 25 might rub, that’s why i was thinking 20
@@StreetInspired1 ysah i don’t want any rubbing. and i heard 25 MIGHT but i don’t want to risk
@@nixwrx sorry idk why I said 25mm... I have 20mm with stock suspension, wheels and body and never rub
yo!!!! please link me the enkei center caps my man!!!! I need them!!
Yo I noticed you're from PA. What part? I'm right outside of Pittsburgh. HMU

The s209 runs a 19x9 with 265 35r tire
Try a 18x9.5 wheel with a 265 35r tire

If you roll it wouldn’t it mess up the flares?

Do the oem fender emblems fit the new flares?
Not without some kind of modification. But in theory if you heat them up and cut the tabs off the back they should mold to the shape. But the flare peice is actually supposed to go overtop of the factory badge.
Where did you get your enkei wheel caps?
I actually made them with vinyl and a vinyl cutter. I tried finding actual enkei caps to fit but couldn't manage to find any to fit. Here's my video on that. th-cam.com/video/N8NXL80ko10/w-d-xo.html
What’s your wheel offset and tire width?
I’m running H&r springs too
These are factory enkei wheels 18x8.5 with a 55mm offset. 245/40 tires.
