so i searched for fender rolling and all it came up with was a bunch of people telling other people to roll their fenders. but i need to know how. anybody ever done it or had it done before? if so lemme kno how or where. thanks.

 

I've did it before on my RS. Are your rear tires rubbing? It is easier than you think.

 

I'm interested in the technique as well...I would like to eventually put 245's on but heard the rear fenders need to be slightly rolled...

If anyone has a technique / pics...please share them with us.

Thanks,

Brent

 

Like I said I did mine on my RS and unless I took the wheel off and you got on your hands and knees you would never know. I'd be willing to show somebody sometime just need a hammer, and pliers I just did soft hits with the hammer as not to mess anything up.

 

I need to learn how to do this.

 

pretty scary stuff...

 

great this soloves nothing. jk

 

Get in touch w/ B-Drift. I used his fender roller to do mine. The tool is pretty expensive. If not, you can always use a bat or hammer it in. I hammered in my 02WRX and it came out great. Just need patience.

thanks guys! who is b-drift??? id like to do it with the rolling tool cuz hammering a brand new car is scarry to me. but ive ruined two brand new pilot sports due to rubbing so i need to get it done. thanks again.

 

I'm willing to help you use the bat...LOL

I'll even point to the stands!

 

hmm.. is it a universal tool?

I recall one that bolted to your hub with your wheel off and worked that way.. but it was on a european car site, vw's etc..

I think it was around $800 just for the tool. (!)

 

FYI on the bat...

Either end of the bat can be used (depending on how wide the gap between the tire and fender are). The [preferably wooden] bat is leveraged up behind the fender lip using the corner/sidewall of the tire as the fulcrum. You start at either side and just "roll" the bat, which in turn, flattens the inside lip of the fender. It helps to heat the paint a bit with a heat gun to minimize chipping as well. Be careful to leverage just the inner "lip" and not go so high as to dent the inside of the fender.

It's harder than it sounds.

Or you could use an actual fender roller: http://www.eastwood.com/jump.jsp?ite...erID=63&KICKER, but that won't be inexpensive.

 

fender rollers cost between 250-300 dollars and its easier than it looks you just gotta be patient. Or just go to sonics they got the damn thing and they know how to do it.

 

does sonics charge for fender rolling?
