Hi,

I have 18x8 rims, with 225/40/18 tires. Everytime I hit a bump, my tires hit the fender. How can I roll the fender, make it look nice and professional? I need help here!

Thanks,
Ron

Thanks!

I read it, but do I have to move the car with the bat in between? Or can just roll the bat all around the tire while the car is still?

1. No, leave your car parked.

2. If need be, jack your car up high enough to fit the bat in between the tire and the fender.

3. Use the end of the bat and roll upwards into the fender doing a small section at a time. I would highly recommend that you use a head gun to help prevent cracking your paint.

4. TAKE YOUR TIME.

Typo

DO NOT USE A BAT. LAME if u got the extra flow laying around go the http://www.eastwoodco.com/ they have the proffesional fender lip roller. it may be pricey. but you can buy it and rent it out on this forum or whatever. security deposit plus 20 bucks and when they ship it back you refund there money minus 20. sounds good to me lol.

well this leads me to a question. If you put 18's on your car, is it going to be necessary to roll your fenders? i know it is with 20+ inch rims, but this is where it gets iffy in my mind.



I'll eventually take the time to put something here. I swear.

No, unless your trying to ride slammed all day everyday.

yea i had 18s with a mild drop, never hit fender



My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again

im running 19x8's on air and didnt really need to roll the fenders. really just depends on if you buy wheels with the right offset or not.
