i.e., with 18x10s on my NB and 265 Michelin PS2 the tire will never contact, even lowered A LOT. But the tire looks small. The 275 looks to be a more beneficial size but it increases diameter too far past stock. Some are running 285s but that looks sure to rub. so...what do you have that's rubbing.

Pics of process?
I have read/heard about this procedure several times - however, can someone post pictures of the process. I am trying to get an idea of correct bat/pipe placement between the tire and fender, as well as proper way roll the bat. I assume that that the car as to roll a few inches for the procedure?
As you can imagine, this process can be worrisome for the newbie!

PiL - Use the "search". DavidinLA has some images that involve using the roller device. IIRC, there are some images of people showing the bat on the tire method as well.
What I'm looking for is a before and after image set that shows what the fender should look like - both side and front/rear shots would be great.
