Question How do I roll my Rear Fenders?!?

I need someone to explain to me how to roll my rear fenders so that my tires will stop rubbing...I have an adj. panhard bar, the car is lowered on BMR springs and adj. Tokiko shocks set on the stiffest setting possible, and the tires still hit. I had a body man hammer on one of them to no avail...the thing wouldn't budge, so please enlighten me!

Thx

I can't really tell you how to use the fender roller as I have no experience. You can rent one from someone on here and he can tell you what to do. As far as trying to tap them up with a hammer I believe you need to cut slits in them every inch or so and then you can tap each piece up one at a time. Hope this helps a little.

I used the Eastwood Fender roller. Works great, I wouldn't use anything else to roll fenders

There are a few people that rent them out. You might have to wait to rent it though. I didn't want to wait so I bought it and have done a few other cars around here

I rented a roller like the one pictured above from a member here on tech. I did it in a couple hours in my driveway. Pretty straightforward. Just run a search

Actually just check the wheels/tires section. 69TA is the man to deal with, highly recommended.

When you roll your fenders, do you have to paint them afterwards?

Dude I rented from sent a heat gun with the roller so you heat the lips before rolling and no cracking. I did it this way and have had no cracks or chips so far.

Ask Tony (Nineball) on here. He has one that he rents out. You just have to leave a deposit, but it beats the hell out of renting one.
