Who Has Rolled Fenders?

3002 tii · 10-25-2013, 11:52 AM

If so, front, rear, or both? Can you show what areas specifically?

Also any tips for someone attempting to do this?

I bought a set of Eastwood pliers and used a heat gun to prep the paint as I went along.
Rears, I compressed just above each tire about 6-8" and another 2-3" at fenderwell back.
Front just above tire and abit towards the front nearest the bumper cover .

Figured, I need to do the rears, directly in the middle above the tire. For the fronts, not even sure if its possible w/o cutting the liners but I'd like to do it right where the bumper and fender meet. Although I just set the caster in away from max so fronts may no longer be necessary.

the thing that sucks is that if you bend the lip too far, the paint will crack on the edge, even if its warm

It's a tough spot.
my liners are already carved up a little in that spot, so I zip tied them out of the way. (towards front)

I also trimmed a little off of the bumper lip.
You can't do much though, because of the bumper clip in that location.

My fender liner up front as well as the inner bumper cover were slowly trimmed naturally

.
19" wheels with max offsets tend to do this. Spirited driving adds to it.

With the fenders being rolled, what type of wheel/tire spec does that allow?

One cannot define the limit of the heart's inner most desire....

^^whoa. That's deep my man, lol
Basically I was wanting to know if fitting an 11" wheel with 30/40 offset and 275 or 285 tire would work with rolled fenders alone, or would I need body work for that.

With enough camber I see a 275 fitting, offset not sure. Are you lowered?
