Default Roll? Pull? Flare?

What is the difference between:
Fender Rolling?
Fender Pulling?
Fender Flaring?

Can you do all 3? If so how much extra clearance does that gain you? What sizes/offsets can you run?

I am looking to run a wider rear wheel/tire combo but I want a little bit of lip.
Maybe something in the 17 by 9.5 +40 to +45 offset.

Fronts I am going to run 17 by 7.5 or 8. Not so much concerned with front offset as I am with rear.

Also some recommendations for camber.

Thanks for any input/info.

With a fender lip roll you just push the fender lip that is inside the wheel well up and away from the tires. To pull the fenders out is self explanatory. More negative camber is going to give you more room but if you go to far your tires are going to wear much faster.

Can you do all 3 to an S2000? How much wider of a wheel/tire can I run and what about offset?

With those sizes and offsets you are wanting to run you won't need that much fender work done. Of course that is also dependent on how low you are planning to go.

Definitely rolled fenders. I'm not a fan of flared/pulled fenders but thats all subjective to the individual.

I have 17x9 +45's all around with an aggressive drop and I resorted to a bit more negative camber rather than flaring/pulling fenders.

i have 17x8 and 17x9 wheels. all are 45 offset 225 front tire and 255 rear tire. just roll the rear fenders and relocate the rear bumper tabs to avoid rubbing. no biggie and good luck.

I'm going with about 1.5 inch drop. I really don't want to run that much negative camber, maybe -2 at the most.

I'm wanting to run a 17 by 9.5 and the highest offset is +38. Will that fit with rolling and not that much negative camber?

You're going to have to run a bit more camber than -2 in the rear.

If I roll/pull/flare my rear fenders and run a 17 by 9.5 +38 how much negative camber will I have to run? I'm really wanting to get a set of RPF1s with 17 by 8 in the front and 17 by 9.5 rear.

Running that size and offset in the rear is going to require aroun -3 camber with a drop of 1.5". Can I ask why you don't want to run more than -2 camber?

You can run -2 but you would have to run stock height. Tonka truck status.

I just don't want to go through tires that fast. I guess I don't really know how much negative camber really to run.

I definently don't want Tonka truck status.

Thanks for the info. I will probably run -3 to -3.5 in the back then.

Any info as far as pulling/flaring the fenders?

Also what tire sizes? I don't really know how to pick out the correct size. I know on the guide for a 9.5" it says 265 and for a 8" it says 215. But what about the height? Obviously they will be 17"s.
