Default Fender rolling

Do you guys know of any good shops that I can take my Z to for fender rolling? Bought some Five Axis
S5:F's with 295/30/19 PS2's and there is a good chance that my fenders will rub.

The rims: http://www.ob-photo.com/wp-content/u...16_obphoto.jpg

Looking for a quality job in the Edmonton area.

I'm going to be rolling my fenders in the spring.

Your welcome to use the tool if you like.

Thank you Travis, that would work out great as the wheels/tires won't be here for at least another 6 weeks.

What are you putting on in the back, 305's?

Currently Running 285's with spacers. And with the coilovers set pretty low, I rub.

So it won't get any better when the Stoptechs go on the rears, the offset increases, and I get 295's or 305's.

Do you have any pictures of your beast? Sounds like it is shaping up to be a very nice street/track machine.

I cut mine and rolled them but I have a buddy with a body shop so we painted the edges that were cut after. With a fender rolling tool its not hard just be sure to heat the fender enough with a heat gun to avoid paint cracking. I might have to pull the fenders this spring to get the 305s to fit out back.

PS nice pick on the wheels Sasha those will look great I have always like those ones.

No updated pics at the moment.

I will go to the storage shop and take some pics soon.

I am currently hoping I didn't get scammed on a bunch of Carbon Fiber stuff in the Marketplace.

I bought the following:




But still haven't received a valid tracking number. Almost time to file a pay pal dispute.

Hope all works out, I got some "used" but really new tires, also in the market place. The guys have a really good iTrade rating so I'm not worried.

No garage?

I have a garage. But at the moment it is used by my wife to park and my spot is taken up by this:


So until I get the lift up and running I get to park outside, and the 350z gets stored at a friends shop.

Ohhhhhhhh a lift. You lucky guy. I wanted to get a lift in my garage but I'm about a foot short. The ceiling is 9'6 and I think I'd need a bit higher than that. If you need a hand putting that lift in place (drilling holes in the concrete ect) let me know, I have access to a really good Hilti concrete drill.

Ya it can be a little unnerving buying items in the US and hoping they actually get shipped. I hope it works out for you.

We are going to have some sick cars in Alberta this summer a few more get togethers are in order for sure.

Yes I did the member got BANNED after he was accused of Scamming another member before my diff got shipped. So I was a little worried but the guy called me right away and explained his side of the story so i felt a little better we had talked on the phone prior to that about shipping arrangments and he seemed like a really good guy. I did get the Diff and its in my car i only drove it from Sylvan into RedDeer but everything seems to be good so far. I took the diff cover off and it did have a Quaife in side.

Finaly this section comes back o life... seemed dead over the winter. Understandable due to our great winter conditions.

I rolled my fenders in the summer... As long as you take your time it's not that bad.

We'll have to do a spring meet or something...

+1000 on that, I can't wait to see sylvan, red, probe, and jube's cars and more...

Might have to have a car-dropping, fender rolling, syn fluid changing meet first, though!

I have a guy from lethbridge that might come up in the spring to get help installing lowering springs, CAI, Intake spacer and I think there was something else. We might have a huge DIY day I have the driveway/garage space.
