Question drag slicks to big....

hey guys i got ahold of some drag slicks. and they fit on the car but the slightest bump and the rear fender flare catches and takes a chunk outa the tire. how can i fix that. i dont want to just hack away a part to make it bigger or should i do that? should i cut and then sand to mak it look higher or is there another way? thanks for the advice guys.

you can use a fender roller on them to roll the inner lip of the fender up for clearance, done right it will cause no damage to the fender or the paint. do a search on here for FENDER ROLLER because a couple weeks ago tim (njspeeder) was talking about renting one and doing it as a group. it would be a great way for you to get it done cheap and meet some members at the same time

I've been talking about renting a roller for months, but not enough people showed interest.
