Hi, first of all, is anyone in DFW area that done this? and second for you guys that rolled, did you guys have any problems after this? like paint chip off or crack or any other problems? third, did you guys roll the fenders? or shave the edge of the fenders? is it going to look ugly after this? like mess up the body lines and stuff?

I'm not in the Dallas area but I did have my fenders rolled. No paint cracking but no shop will guarantee that it won't happen when they do it. It my case the local shop has done 350Z's before specifically for 19x10.5 +22 offsets in the rear, so they knew exactly how far they should go. I've also seen the same size and offset with a shaved fender. It's definitely safer as you won't risk the paint chipping but you can definitely tell when you look under the fender whereas most people won't even notice the rolling. Not that this really matters since who the heck is going to look. Anyway, I'd say shave it unless you know a good body shop who has lots of experience in rolling fenders. Cracking the paint will be a big pain in the a$$ if it happens. Good luck!

Buy wheels that fit the car maybe? Just an idea.

HaNkYs_Z

I always thought that this offset will fit without any problems, alot the people got this kind of setup without any problems. I guess I am just one of the unlucky one

Have your fenders Rolled and Pulled a couple mm. A good body shop can do that without damaging the paint and looks ood too.

I haven't roll my fenders yet, I am deciding if I should raise my car back up or roll my fenders with the possibility of damage my paint or shave my fenders( I just dont know if this will work or not )

Since you have coilovers, you should drop the back alot more and try to get as much negative camber as possible. This should help your tire clear the fenders. The only bad thing is that it will eat the inside of your tires. BTW, I'm waiting on the same rims for my Z.

HaNkYs_Z

I know thats one way to go, but I dont want to do that, b/c I dont feel like to spend on new tires every couple months, I think I will probably go shave my fenders first to see if it will work, if not then I will probably just raise my car back up more. What size and offset are you getting?

starve

I'm going with the 19x9.5 +22 for the front and 19x10.5 +22 out back. Chances are I'll have to roll my fenders as well.

HaNkYs_Z

I think it also depends on your tires, like I am running on Bridgstone SO3 and alot the people with this offsets are running Toyo T1S. I think SO3 275 are wider then T1S 275, so if you buy T1S I think you should be fine, unless you going to lower it alot. So what color are you getting? gunmetal too? when are you going to get them?

starve

I hate to say this, but they're gunmetal. The shop I ordered them from said that Mackin is getting them next week. So I should see them pretty soon. My car is dropped on H and R springs right now, so I'm hoping the negative camber will help the tires clear the fender.

Hey starve, do you know any well experienced, good bodyshop that I can go and get my fender roll?

HaNkYs_Z

who did you order from?

starve

I have one lead, I hear there's a shop on Harry Hines that specializes in BMWs that do alot of fender rolling for those guys. That's about all the info I have, but I'll try to get a hold of the guy that was talking about it.

Hey are you going to be at Concept racing tomorrow? and please find out that shop for me asap, b/c I dont think my tires going to hold up that long, thanks
