Title: How To: Roll Your Fenders (The Cheap and Expensive Way)
Post by: MyNameIsThien on February 08, 2009, 12:31:13 AM
Well, I'm bored and I was looking through my old Super Street mag and found a section on there that told me how to roll the fenders. So, I thought this might help you guys with larger rims that are rubbing. You got 2 ways. The cheap and free way or the $50 a fender way. I cut out the page to let everyone see how they do it. Sorry Pic is freakishly huge but if it were smaller you couldn't read the text. Hope this helps everyone with there rubbing issues.

I need Cham to bring out his fender rolling tool so I can use it before my car gets painted.

Are't your fenders rolled already?

Nopn. I pulled my fenders in the front and bent the tabs for the inner fender liner, but I still need to pull them some more and roll the rear quarter panels.

Bigger wheels in the works or are you rubbing a little?

Wider wheels eventually.

What size wheels are you running now?

Winter tires are 245/45/17 on 17x8 +45. Summer tires are 235/40/18 on 18x7.5 +42. I'm going to run 245/40/18's next. When I get newer wider wheels, I want to get a set of 18x8.5 +45-52 with some 255s.

Would rolling the fenders allow the running of a different offset. I'd like to buy rims with a bit of a lip

Yeah. You're basically giving yourself more clearance for wider tires at more of a drop.

by dropping the car 1.0-1.5 inch, would i still need to roll the fenders? like is there a certain amount you can drop without rolling the fenders?

Mine aren't rolled. But my wheels aren't that wide either.

No u should be fine. but it also really depends on ur wheels and tire set up. i was dropped 2.5 inches on stock tsx and didint need 2 roll them until i went with wider wheels/tires
it comes down to the offsett/width of ur rims and the size of ur tires and the drop ur guna be running and also how u get ur alignment done. im running no chamber and my toe is set to 0 so my tires are perfectly straight...so that also plays a role.

Nope, but Cham has one of those fender rolling tools that I've seen him use.

Jason (JC04Accord) both rolled out fenders with some wooden dowels, one thicker then the other. Then we finished it off with an 1.5" PVC pipe. Heated the fenders up with a heat gun until they were warm to the touch and went to town. Drove back and forth about 2-3 tires with each pipe. Worked great and paint didn't chip.

I'm thinking about doing this but i heard that this can cause your quarters to rust, especially in New England.

If you try to do it too fast it will. Best way is to use a heat gun and go slow or you'll chip the paint and the snowball will just get bigger.

Don't forget to heat up the paint so it doesn't chip.
