but you spent another $800 to get them up and going?

I hope they were free. All in all...long as you're happy and it's working. cool beans.

 

Haha... I am with you there - I got a killer deal on these S03's which is what got me started down this road of bodywork terror. If I would have only gotten different tires... Tired of kicking myself. I did NOT save any money in the long run - that's for sure.

rau - for some reason the 225 S0-3's are a teeny bit wider than other 225's which truly makes no sense. Great tire otherwise.

 

If this comes up again, I'm in the east bay (Vallejo) and I have an Eastwood rolling tool in my garage.

If you want it done right, take it to LIC. I'm serious. It's worth the price for a good job.

If you're a cheap bastard and you want to try it yourself and assume all risk, I've got the roller and you can do it in my driveway (gunshy about loaning it out without a desposit, and I'm not going to do it for anybody or charge for the service as I'm not a vendor and don't want to be). FWIW, I originally rolled my fenders with a bat, then cleaned them up and flared them later with the tool, and if you take your time, it comes out pretty nice. Just accept that you're likely going to need to repaint the inner fender somehow if you're going to do it.

If it don't fit, roll it till it does

 

so you did all of these? or just the new tires? you coulda just gotten the rears rolled for $120 and b done with it. or did it rub in the front too?

 

well i just got the new tires. $360 well spent imo. yea its an extra amount that i didn't plan on spending... but it solved a lot of worries on my behalf and on that of my parents. =)
