Hey everyone. I recently picked up a set of rims that have a pretty aggressive offset in the rear. They are JLines so I have no idea what the offset is, but the top of the tire sticks out just past the fender. I'm not too worried about rubbing because I'm still on my stock suspension. I'd love to lower it but I can barely get out of my parking garage as is. Anyways, what exactly is the difference between rolling and pulling the fenders? I always thought that the fenders got pulled out a bit when they were rolled. Finally, would rolling the fenders help to make the fender more flush with the tire? If so, does anyone know any good shops on the island that do this? Thanks and sorry if this is a newbish question.

Hey I get all my work done at Sums Auto Center, the best work I have seen anywhere. If u go there see Ken and tell him Peter Mitchell sent u and he'll hook u up! If u want the address PM me and I ll give it to ya.

Ok. So after a bit of searching, I now understand that rolling really only rolls the inside edge of the fender in giving more clearance, but that some people accidently pull the fenders when doing it. Makes sense. So, I guess I'm looking specifically for shops that pull fenders.

Maverick07- did Sums actually pull your fenders?

 

Before you go pulling... do a test fit with a knowledgable wheel guy.
You may be able to get away with a camber kit and proper size tire.

Sums will do any kind of body work for u bro. Like I said man just PM me and I ll let u know where it is and all that good stuff.

Oh yea he can also give u great advice as to what would be better, with the rollin and pulling of the fenders man

 

The rims are already on the car. I'm running 275-35-19 in the rear, so they aren't crazy wide for a Z like 305s or even 295s. I'm a little hesitant to run too much negative camber as I've got to worry about passing a safety check.

I need to take some measurements to see exactly how far out they stick. It isn't too much as a photo from directly behind doesn't really show anything. It is only noticible if you at looking straight on at the fender/side of the car... if that makes any sense. It's interesting that they are like this as they were custom made for a 350z.

 

Pics would get you an easy answer...

 

I'll post up a picture when I get home from work.

on the first page is closer up shots of my fenders...the meisters where before i pulled the fenders and the T1s are after i pulled

 

i forgot...work was done at tech one
i didnt want to pull the fronts b/c of a certain look im aiming for
but if you got any questions shoot me a pm

 

you can get away with a little more negative camber then stock and still be within spec. Personally I would go with the camber kit as pulling your fenders isn't something you can undo + it's something you'll want to do if you ever drop the car, + a rear camber kit is a pretty cheap solution.

 

You can always try adding the nismo flares.

sick!!!

 

So, when I really looked at it from a bunch of different angles last night, I'm pretty sure they actually sit really flush. It just looks like they poke out slightly because the car is at stock height. I guess I'm just too used to seeing the car with the stock rims on. I would post a picture for your opinions, but my computer at work doesn't have a card reader. I'll post tonight. Thanks for all the suggestions.

 

more pics please!!! whats the offset/specs of those wheels. f u k n SICCCCCCCCKKKKK! nipponpwer is my new idol.

 

A little OT, but my Basics are dropped all the way yet I don't even look as low as some your cars (I still have a big tire gap). For some reason, I keep scraping the under carriage of the car (towards the rear) going into my garage or over speed bumps but like I said, my car doesn't even look as low as some of yours and I am getting problems.

Any help would be cool. Sorry for the TJ.

 

are you running stock wheels and tires? it could be that your rims and tires aren't the appropriate size to fill the wheel well.

 

thanks man
-fronts=19x10 +17 high disk
-rears=19x11 -17 low disk

like dj kicks said just playing with the camber will give you the clearance you need, unless you want to go really aggressive..but like he said once this job is done, there is no going back unless you get new fenders. but hey if theres a look that your going for, go for it

 

I went to GX auto...instead of rolling the rears...they cut them. even better!

 

Gettin' the exact same thing done to the new build Joe... I totally agree. Where you been Big Dawg, Long time No Hear Bro
