I had a slight tire rub in the rear after I put my new volk wheels on so I rolled my fenders today. I have a 19x10.5 +24 wheel and 285/35 tire size. The fender rolling tool I bought made the job pretty easy. A little heat and patience and everything worked out fine. I do not see any paint crack at all. I took some aggressive twisty-turns during my test run and no more tire rub. Here are some pics:

good job....i used the same tool and it did a AWESOME job!!!

 

I had mine cut, but this looks good. Great job.

 

You did a great job!

 

damn pretty flush, i cut mines too cuz the shop said it was easier to cut with less problems.

 

how much does it cost to have it cut? how much is the tool?

 

you can rent the tool..... www.rollyourfender.com

 

i paid 80

 

The cost of the tool was $275 shipped ... a bit pricey but now I have the tool if I ever need to work my fenders or if a friend needs to borrow it. I checked into renting but there was a waiting list and I only had 5 days to return it. My schedule is pretty tight and I was afraid of having to rent it twice if it showed up during the week or when I was out of town.

 

Nice, you even checked the temperature, I'm impressed!

 

Nice DIY Fender roll!

 

Nice. Im doing mine this Saturday.. i hope that mine goes as well as yours did. I just upgraded to 285/35/19s in the rear and thats when my problem started Good job homie!

 

Thats looks great, you should see mine i did a bat job on mine.

 

^did that work out alright? that's what i used on my mustang and it was fine.

 

The thought crossed my mind when I saw the price of the tool, but just couldn't bring myself to get the bat out. Did the bat bend the fenders out of shape looking from the outside?

 

damn great job and great investment. what kind of suspension are you sitting on? because im about to go from 18's to 19's and im on gf210's... so i have no idea if i need to roll or not.

 

I have eibach pro springs (stock shocks) to lower the car by 1". I also put SPL upper arms in the front and SPC camber arms with toe bolts in the rear for proper alignment.

 

Worked out great! Just take your time and heat it up the whole time. I just needed to jack the car high enough to stick a bat (a metal one at that) between the tire and fender. i would use a wooden bat next time

 

damn so i might have to roll.... alllllrighty k thanks
