rolling fenders

I've only done one wheel so far, here is the right rear before and the left rear after. As you can see it adds ALOT of clearance to the tire sidewall.

SOmeone was asking me what the tool looks like....





you bolt it where the wheel would go, then you adjust the height, the angle of the head, then the big crank pushes it outwards, you just roll it back and forth on the fender lip and tuen the big crank to press it in more.

I'llget some pics of it in action tommarow when I do the rest




******WARNING*****

if your gonna do this be very very careful. The paint will crack. You can use a heat gun to soften the paint but make sure not a burn the paint, heat it up and do it very slow and gradual. In my case my car is getitng painted top to bottom so I really don't care either way, the cracks are small but they will spred over time. If your gonna do it BE CAREFUL and TAKE YOUR TIME.

toyota cavalier fenders + rolled lip = does wonders for clearence when dumped on 18s with 40mm offset.

just for reference.

im debating on doing that with my 1/4 panels. worried about paint tho.

Same here kinda.. used a jack handle stick, ran it along the tire, lowered a bit at every time with the air ride.

Works great also

Now you can tuck the bish!
