Remember we could extend this to non-350z owners!!! We could have one big fender rolling party! We might as well create a separate thread for it. But who actually knows how to use the fender roller?

RIMTUCK.COM!

on a 10" rim a 275 wont stretch

thats what mine is I need to get smaller tires I wish I had known this b4 I bought tires lol

Get some super stretchy tires, roll fenders, give it a little negative camber and slam that shxt and you have the JDM drifter look!

BTW, I'm about to give my car that drifter look as well! It's on my To-Do list for the winter.

Thanks E10. I bought my tires thinking abotu normal offsets lol I think my next set will be 255's in the rear

You need a heat gun whether its hot or cold out if you dont want the paint to crack...
