I'm dropped and have some new wheels on the way that I'm sure are gonna push the limits. I keep hearing of 'pulled fenders', but I've yet to see pics or find anything in the search that shows me what a pulled fender looks like for the Z or how to do it.

I rolled my fenders myself and I understand the concept of rolling and pulling fenders. It just always helps to see, right? You visual learners out there know what I mean.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

this is the only guy that i know of that ever pulled his fender....hes the OP

when u mean pulled do u mean rolled fenders?

 

Rolled fenders is just the tab, Pulled fenders mean exactly what they mean. You pull them out or flare the fenders so you can tuck some really wide aggressive wheels underneath.


Whats your wheel setup and offset?


I think AlvinHuyN pulled his slightly for his 11.5 +24 offset work meisters.

 

Lowered about 2" all around and putting the following on next month...

F: 255/35/19 x 9.5 +12
R: 285/35/19 x 10.5 +12

Not super aggressive, but sounds like I might need to pull the fenders. They're rolled already. Thanks for the link above. That's exactly what I was looking for.

edit: now that I've gone through the entire thread linked above.... I'm not going to be as aggressive as I thought I was

 

Yea, you should not need a pull with those sizes, a good roll should be plenty

 

I didn't pull 'em I cut 'em now I can go 315/40x19 with ease. http://autodesigns.intercate.net/ its sitting high as the engine was out, being built.
there are a sh#tload more pics but this was basically the process. Mine isn't dropped as I don't particularly like the look but hey to each his own. I drove from the showroom to the body shop so it was brand new. I would do it again as it is conservative yet its dressed for "business". Sooooo Many Z owners ask if it is/was an optioned model from the showroom.

 

+1

 

to the OP, def shouldnt need to pull like others have said... always nice to have the extra space just in case though =)

 

I like the look a lot... I'm guessing new paint on the rear fender is required when you pull them?

Also, it would be cool to blend in the rear bumper and sideskirt so it makes it look seamless!

 

That's a really tall tire...

 

performance Nissan also had a z with pulled rear fenders a while ago.

 

That's what I was thinking! To each his/her own.

I'm glad to hear that I won't have to pull the fenders, but having said that... with a good roll, which I already have, how wide do you guys figure I can go in the rear??

again, offset +12 on 19 x 10.5

295/35/19?
305/35/19?
more?

This is fun

 

Sorry kids ehm.......35. I would suggest with your offset, you will rub, especially if you have dropped it. I do not like the sidewall too low as Australian Roads are crap! I also have a 3.3 rear end, but then its jun stroked and aps TT'd with cosworth heads and jwt cams. Currently running about 600+ rwhp so it steps out a bit when pushed. Anyhow enough of my boasting, the point is this mod on the guards is fantastic with the variations that you can get up to.
