^^this. a roll isn't very hard to do. Pulling is where u start to mess things up if not done right.


don't use me as a reference lol, im 16x8 +38 in the front, not 17x8. I'm 17x9.5 +38 in the rear, not 17x9. Plus I'm running 225/255 R888's that run wider than your average tire. I rolled and pulled and am at -2.2 in the rear and still need more work or negative camber to have them look better. I'm by no means trying to go hella flush, but I did want a more aggressive look. I want to be able to track and autocross without rubbing. I will get my fenders professionally widened when I return from the dragon. Since I have a lifetime alignment package from firestone, I can go more negative camber in the meantime to keep me from rubbing and then change it back. But ideally I want to maintain my UK specs.

The main reason why im hesitating to roll my fenders is because i havent heard of any experienced fender rollers in my area. Most people use the baseball bat method but it never comes out really good from the civics and integras i see around. How far would i have to stretch tires to fit without rolling?

rohde88

where do you live? i find it hard to believe there isn't anyone within 200 miles who can roll fenders

st.petersburg, florida. and i would never drive over 100 miles just for fender rolling. im looking for answers to my questions please

I live in the St Pete area and can roll your fenders for you With an actual roller, not a bat lol

Only the rears tho...I wont roll the fronts but I can trim your fender liner and cut off the fender tabs which will alleviate most rubbing on the front.

rohde88

Your question is a bit contradictory. If you want "most aggressive" a fender roll is step 1, esp. with a 1 finger gap.

without rolling your fenders, you could probably throw a small spacer on stock wheels and lower 1 finger gap.

so its IMPOSSIBLE to run 17x9 +45 all around with 1 finger gap, without rolling, and without a retarded amount of stretch? thats what im trying to figure out. and if i must roll, do i need to do both front and rear? does the rear require relocating bumper tab to roll?

evil MS3

For the most part yes. I had rubbing on Eibach springs running 215/45 on 17x8 front 245/40 on 17x9 rear.

I'm now lowered even more on coilovers running 225/45F 255/40R with zero rubbing. Rolled my rears, relocated bumber tab, trimmed fron fender liner and cut fender liner tabs.

You could probablt run a 17x9 front with a 235/45 tire without rolling the front by cutting the liner tabs.

Let me know if you want me to roll your fenders. I'm cheap LOL

Nick.
