beware, because the front fenders are plastic. Consider swapping to M3 fenders?

Yes, u r right, only rear fender could be done with rolling or hammer. If you wanna change the M3 front fender, you should change the front spoiler as well as the fender would be wider than your front spoiler.

I just need to roll my rear, cos my front wheels are within spec. Renus, I felt ur rolled/hammered fender, but is it good enough that you don't have any problems with it now? Or does it still rub a little on hard cornering? I'm considering going to the shop u said in Tin Hau to get the same thing done, cos the places I've asked don't have the machine to roll it

Well, I didn't see any rub leave over the rear fender, that's made me wanna try to put 275 tyre on for a try.

I did the hammer job through the garage that what 335freak using now, however, the job is not done over there, but they will take ur car to the right place, I think this place is somewhat like the place for welding the exhaust. You can find the similar garage to ask whether they can do the same or not, but of coz non-matter how doing the job from which garage, someone should take the responsibility while doing the job on your car.

By the way, re-paint job for fender should be expected if you decide to do this.

Problem solved with added -ve camber!!! I'm soooooooo happy about it...

[335iDCT]

-ve camber added to the front or rear? By how much?

[phawx]

For me it was only the rear rubbing so I got the rear adjusted... it's not much, -0.9 at the rear, -0.5 at the front, but already enough to clear for my car. If you wanna take a look at it at the next meet, I should be out.

Great, that's the camber info I've been looking for instead of rolling the fender. Of course your setup may not apply to mine, at least something to refer to. Sure, I will love to see your car in next meet; which is when?

With negative camber, will the tyres depreciate more faster??

Turns out it's an improvement, but not an outright fix - I cornered really hard on the exit at East Tunnel on HK side (big lefthand sweeper turn), and it was still rubbing really bad. I'm thinking this is the inner fender though - not much I can do about that.

Sign up at the stickied thread (if you haven't already done so), and PM Little_Croco if you want to join in the next meet. From what I know, it's a Sunday morning thing on the 28th.

Renus, I think it depends on how you drive, actually. 0.9 is not at all aggressive camber, but yes you're right, if you have -ve camber and you drive straight all the time without attacking corners, you're slower and your tire wear is uneven. But for ppl like me, I think it's better to have more negative camber in the rear so I don't spin out, and the tires would wear better actually.

For reference, my civic in Canada which I daily drove has front camber of 2 and rear camber of 0.5 (front wheel drive, so flipped with FR)
