Roads in cyprus are very bad....only the motorway is smooth! What is the need to roll the fenders?

Thanks

What is your opinion regarding my initial question!

When wheels stick too far out, you roll the inner edge of the fender to create more clearance. But a GT3 wheel will be too wide regardless if you roll the fender. Looks like your friend has put a too narrow tire on the rear so the sidewall folds over. Not a good practice unless you have a garage queen that you trailer everywhere. You need all the sidewall provided to corner properly.

I still vote no. Those wheels were not meant to be used on a 986.
