Default Fender rolling after lowering

Have any members here rolled their fenders using a fender roller after lowering their car?

No, why would they do that? Everyone buys wheels in offsets that work :thumbsup:

Huh? What does lowering have anything to do with it? You need to remove the wheels from the car in order to fit the roller on, having the car at stock height or lowered makes no difference.

^^Actually it does on some cars or certain suspensions? I've tried to roll a friends G35 after it was lowered with an Eastwood fender roller and it just wasnt possible. The roller part could not adjust to reach the lip part of the fender, not even close.

I rolled mine very carefully with a baseball bat, after lowering the car. I'm not herrafrush or slammed out either. I barely tuck tire in the front and have maybe a finger gap in the rear on 17x8f 17x9r +45 all around. 225s in the front and 245s out back.

the picture is after lowering and before I got an alignment. I can provide detailed alignment specs but basically -1.6 camber up front and -3 out back with a little bit of tow in all around.

I've actually seen it done with a bat but I'm just not comfortable going this route on the S2k especially on the front fenders. You brave haha it looks really good though.
