To shave or not to shave...

That is my question. Been rubbing a little lately with just a roll been contemplating shaving the rears or getting a little bit smaller of spacer. Like my poke though =\.
Are you shaved..?

Probably get more serious replies in the wheels/tires section.

Idk much about shaving, so you're going to thin your fender out so it doesnt rub? What about just pulling it with a heat gun?

I already have it pulled and slightly rolled. I have a 18x10.5et11 with a 235/40 and it's just slightly rubbing when I smash the gas or corner. I'm not too worried about it but I could take a little camber out, get more poke and have more clearance if I shave it then roll the little lip

I have 19/235's on the fronts with no issue.. I'm assuming the 235/40's are the front. I would probably raise the suspension before shaving or rolling. IMO if it's rubbing it's too low unless you like that sorta look.

No I have a 225/40 in the front on a 18x10.5et25. 235/40 is the rear an it's the stupid double lip the the rears have that make them damn near impossible to roll like the fronts. The front just fold with a little heat ha
