They're a little big 245/40R18. How can I get these to stop rubbing. Should I roll them.

Post some pictures. Depending on how low you are you'll definetlly need a rear roll and minor pull in order to fit 245's.

I'm sorry I don't have any better pics right now I took them off my car because they were rubbing that badly.

You need different tires (the 40 profile is good if these are 18's). How wide are the wheels?

I can't roll the fenders? 18x8.5 with a bolt pattern 5x114.3 and hub bore of 67.1 and 38 offset.

Would this work

The tires you have on there are pretty wide (245mm=9.65in) and with a 40 profile means they are (98mm=3.86in) tall on an 18" rim, it's just too much for our cars I think. You may look at going with 225/40=(8.86/3.54), just my opinion.

But rolling the fenders would be a start.

A 245 section width on a 8.5" wide rim is too wide for our cars. But if you roll and pull, maybe you can get them to fit. Personally I would sell those tires and put that money toward new ones.

If you got them cheap I'd just try and resell the whole set for a profit tbh

I think they're sexy as hell and it'll kill me to sell them. If I roll my fenders, what do you think my rubbing issues would be like. I'd rather not sell the tires I just bought a brand new one for 120.
