Default Fender Rolling DFW

Hey Guys,

Need some advice on fender rolling. I have contacted Pro Tuning Performance in Fort Worth and they have a good rep, but said their roller will not fit the 6 lug. I called a few body shops and they said without paint work they are unable to work the metal. Where have you folks gone? Im good with anywhere in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Or if someone has some MAP trailing arms up for grabs that would work too!

Thanks

If you have the coin to spare it may be worth purchasing the 6 lug roller then reselling after its use. I'm sure there's plenty of other guys on the forum that need their fenders rolled.

I would buy one, but I can't seem to even find one that will fit our bolt pattern! Eastwood made a truck adapter but it only goes out to 6x107 from my understanding, and it is not made any longer. If I could track one down maybe I would be able to enlarge the holes? Still looking for suggestions!

Maybe something like this:

http://adaptitusa.com/6x550to5x112wheeladapter-7.aspx

see if they'll sell one for $25. might be cheaper this route.

It looks like the $99.75 price is for one adapter.

the one that was used on mine was universal. It basically had 4 very wide and rounded holes to where it can basically fit anything with a regular hub.

best thing I ever did. without it i couldn't tuck my 20x10.5s on a 285.

Per the website....

"Each set of adapters comes with standard 12m.m. X 1.50 American Made, Heat Treated, SAE Approved, OEM quality studs pressed into the adapters."

I just purchased a cheap knockoff unit from Fleebay and then modified the mount
with a hand drill and milling machine, I am sure you could use a hand dremel instead.
The top two holes needed to be slotted and added two new ones on the bottom to get it to sit flat.
mine had a multi hole setup for mounting.
Attached a photo below.

Thanks guys for all the ideas! I picked up a set of MAP trailing arms and that should fix my problem for now. I may still end up rolling the fenders if I lower my car much more. Johnrowdy I will let you know if I purchase a roller!

I'd be interested in using the roller if you get it!
