Fenders rolled/pulled
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
