I couldn't locate a fender roller in my area and when I checked on-line saw that they were $350!

I have recently installed some HREs in 19x11 +53 with 295/30/19 Hankook V12 tires and TechArt's in 19x11 +51 with 295/30/19 PS2 tires.

(my handle comes apart in the middle so I only used half the handle for better leverage) Wrapped some duct tape around one end.

Will be hard to inspect bushings as they are obstructed.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Humbly speaking, the Victor Innsbruck 19x11 55et will not fit the rear of a 1999 Porsche nb wearing 295/30x19 tires. Tire tread hits the wheelwell edge when you drive over bumps.
America's Tire call the Victor distributor before I ordered the wheels and was told they would fit. When called back again today, they said they would fit even though they were told they wouldn't. Anyway, they said they could not exchange wheels because tires had already been mounted on them even though they told us they would fit.
America's Tire will exchange the 295/30x19's for 275/30x19 which is approx the same size as the 285/30x18's that came off the rear. The original wheels off the rear were 18x10 with 3/8"-1/2" spacers so we're hopeful the wheels with the 55et will be ok. Will find out next week when the other tires arrive.
Next time I'm going to listen to you guys who have much more experience in Porsche's than me.
Humbly fading away..............Pors-Vette
ps If anyone needs advice on mid-year and C5 Corvette's I may be able to help.
I'm in agreement with others who said a 63et or larger will fit a nb.
Rolling the fenders would not have helped in this situation and changing rear camber is out of the question.

I'm not sure why rolling the fenders would not help in this situation? I have recently installed some HREs in 19x11 +53 with 295/30/19 Hankook V12 tires and TechArt's in 19x11 +51 with 295/30/19 PS2 tires. I have factory spec camber settings with rolled fenders on a NB... zero rubbing issues.
To put some finishing touches on this thread, there are few things that can make sounds describrd. Each has to be looked at, or uf u do full bore approach, do all at once to fix sounds issue.
1. Lower control arms - known culprit, squeak or thud when going over bumps. You can inspect and see bushings tears. Fix is to replace control arms.
2. Upper control arms - known culprit, squeaks over bumps. Will be hard to inspect bushings as they are obstructed. There is process to inspect on cayenne section. If you replaced lower control arms, and sounds still present, replace the upper control arms. Plus read next point.
3. Upper shock mount bushings - known culprit in air suspension, clunking sound over bumps, especially low speed. These are rubber stops inside each shock. They are supposed to keep internals aligned, but if they get worn, internals of shock stary flopping around, hence clunking sound. Remedy is to replace said bushings. I have a diy from cayenne section on how to do this. Not hard, and if youre doingupper control arms, you have to remove air shocks, giving you perfect opportunity to to replace.
4. Sway bar bushings - not as common for squeaks. Easy to replace, but i would do thease aftervabove 3 are addressed. I have diy on sway bar bushing repair on here in cayenne section, i think.
5. Sway bar links - not as common for squeaks, easy to replace. If i reolace sway bar bushings, might as well do th ese too, cheap and need removal to change sway bushings.
After fixing my cayenne which has similar noises, thst users ovserve and repair, i would tackle these noises in shown order. Very doable as diy.

I'll give rolling the fenders a try but when you're looking straight down from above the fender it appears the tire would still be sticking out just a bit too far causing the fender to still make contact with the tread. It's just my opinion but maybe a good body shop that has someone who rolls fenders will have a different opinion. Thanks for the encouragement though, I'll make calls tomorrow.
I called numerous body shops and all gave conflicting information about rolling fenders which worried me re: who should do it. Got brave and did it myself. After going on-line and combining others experiences, I got started.
Tools needed: 1/2 floor jack handle. Duct tape. Heat gun.
I used my floor jack handle as the "roller". (my handle comes apart in the middle so I only used half the handle for better leverage) Wrapped some duct tape around one end. I heated the part of the lip I was going to work on with a heat gun just hot enough to where I thought the paint was pliable. (not too hot or I'm sure you'll blister your paint) Using one hand on the jack handle, and the other as a guide at the lip, I carefully and slowly started lifting the lip using the tire for leverage. I probably lifted the lip 1/16" then moved the handle to the left about 1/2" and did the same. Do this to the entire part of the lip you want rolled then repeat until you've got the lip almost pointing straight up. Use heat gun numerous times while doing this. Continue until you can put enough pressure on the jack handle so the lip is almost flat against the inside of the fender. It took me about 45 mins for each rear fender. No paint cracking/chipping/scratches. No tire rub when driving.
I'm not an expert on this but I wanted others to know that it's doable. This method worked for me and I hope it works for you.
Glad it worked out for you.
You can also rent a fender roller that bolts onto the hub for leverage and makes the job very easy if you just take your time.
Me.....I just buy wheels that fit in the fenderwells.

I wanted that wide tire look at the rear and was told the wheels and tires would work. Can you imagine my disgust when I heard the tire and fender contact each other the other day?
I couldn't locate a fender roller in my area and when I checked on-line saw that they were $350!
I'm glad you gave fender rolling a try. Its a relatively simple process to remedy issues like the one you had. Once the fenders are completely rolled I have found the limit with a 11" wide wheel wearing 295 tires is basically +50. Anything lower will require some added negative camber. Flush fitment is good fitment
hey there pors-vette can you post some pic's i have the same set up like you 19x11 in rear victor equipment lemans same off set ,i was planning on using 295/30/19 in rear and rolling lips also.

Thanks. If you're going to be doing the rolling yourself, keep one thing in mind.....take your time. Can't stress that enough. Post pics when you're done.
