hey any of you long island otsz guys have a fender rolling tool or any other ideas? i had to change my rear tires and my new 285's have taller sholders than my old 285's. rub rub rub

 

heat gun and a baseball bat!

 

yup did it , cracked paint ........o well

 

il do it if you help with my research ..
lol

 

i think snap-on sells a fender rolling tool. some one posted it on here awhile ago

 

YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF IF:

YOU HAVE GOOD OFFSET WHEELS AND A COILOVERS. which most people have if they are even considering rolling fenders.

THIS IS HOW:
1. Jack up one side of car and remove wheel....disconnect coilover and push aside out of the way or completely remove coilover and that one side of car, whichever side you are doing first.

2. then reattach wheel with out coilover installed or ensure its pushed out of the way.

3. go buy the sunday news paper and place it on top of the tire with a bulk of it hanging over the sidewall of the tire.... dont get a weekday paper now...get a nice fat sunday paper...lol..

4. some say apply heat via heat gun.....in-order to help paint from chipping...yada, yada, yada...........ive never done this.

5. NEXT, very carefully...and i mean very carefully and SLOWLY lower the jack holding up that side of the car....once the wheel hits the ground the weight of the car will force the newspaper that is on top of the tire/wheel push up on the fender.....viola....fender rolled....

you need to be good with your jack...and i recommend a second jack as a back up so you dont go too low to fast...the other jack will catch the car from going to low....get it??

6. Jack car back up...remove sunday paper, remove wheel, reattach coilover and put wheel back on.....

i wonder if this would work ..

probably not .. .

 

Just use a fender roller. Look around. Someone usually has one they rent out. That's what I did. Just take your time and heat it up so it doesn't crack on you.

 

my bad it was tire rack
