Rolling Rear Fenders
Rolling Rear Fenders i need to roll my rear fender a little bit because my tire is scraping and was wondering if anyone has done this and the best way to do it without cracking the paint. any help would be great. thanks
Re: Rolling Rear Fenders I had mine done with a "fender rolling" machine...it is mounted on the hub and has an arm that extends at varying angles....I rolled mine to 40 deg. It took him about 2 hours of careful "massaging"...but came out pretty good. The guy mentioned that the stiffness of the lips was more than normal. I do have a slight ripple where the welds are but you really can't see them in normal lighting.
Re: Rolling Rear Fenders Oh yeah...no cracks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> and no rubbing <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Re: Rolling Rear Fenders Hey blue, I hate to sound too demanding, but could you post some pics centered around the fenders. It's hard to see the work done in those pics. But other than that, your car looks great. I hate seeing engine compartments like that. It makes me want to puke everytime I open my hood.

It did not flare the fenders at all...I do suggest centering w/ an APHR. I did not have to do any banging on the inner wells and have about a 1/4 to 3/8" clearance with no rubbing issues. I like my driving fast and straight, but do an occasional hard fast turn...no rubbing. I do have my AGX shocks set at 7. If you look at my wheel gap I ain't got much and would have fender lip cuts if I had not rolled the fenders.
Good Luck! </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Hey Blue what size and type of tires are those?
