Question Front Fender Rolling

Quick basic question: Will the liner still fit if you roll the front fenders?

Yes I plan on rolling mine. I do HPDE & Auto-X events and don't want the worries of the front fenders rubbing my tires under load.

You can't roll the fronts, only the rears. If you look at the front, that's what the rear should look like after they have been properly rolled.

Yup, front's are "pre rolled" from the factory. I sure wish they had done the rears too.

I am guessing they didn't do the rears because those don't turn.

Pulled? Like how far can you pull the fender? Doesn't it get distorted, with a peak in the middle of the wheel well arch?

nope. it's a real slight pull...maybe 3-5 mm. not enough to cause deformation, but enough to give you even more tire clearance.

+1 Can't roll the fronts. Take a look @ the fronts and you will see they are already folded back flat. The rears have a 3/8"/4/8" shelf that can be rolled back to accomodate wider wheels/tires.
"Pulling" is a much more complicated process than "rolling", and could result in paint cracking way up on the fenders, and could necessitate a costly repaint.
