anyone roll their fenders on a ge? wondering when you did it if your paint cracked? if there is a proper way to do it?

i know someone with an actual fender roller, and i'll be doing it myself if i decide to do it, i'm just curious if there is anything i should know before i try this.........any and ALL help would be great. post up some pics if you have any.

 

You got a heat gun? This will soften the fender and paint to minimize the cracking.

I've done three cars and you want to take your time.

that helps alot! thanks!

 

so i picked up a fender roller today...found one on sale. gonna try it on a buddy of mines junked car before i try it on my car. can't wait to try it out. 40 offset rims.....here i come

 

anyone else with some fender rolling tips? i'll be doing a DIY when i roll mine......if it works, great...if not..it'll be the way NOT to roll your fenders. lol.

 

What's the rest of the specs of the wheels? U shouldnt have to roll them for a 40 offset ! I had 16x6.5+38 offset and I didn't need to roll anything dropped on my Megan coils!!! What wheels are u getting anyway? I wanna see !!! Lol

 

well there must be something with my car...cuz i'm rubbing now with a 195/55 series tire.....on stock rims...which are what? 16x6+56. i'm going with a 16x7+40 offset....so yea.....i think i'm gonna rub. especially with how low my car is. lol. i can't wait. you'll see what they are when everyone else does mang. lol...muahahaha

 

yea i rolled my fenders a little bit but that's because I'm 3 inches off the ground and my wheels specs are 16x7.5 +35...wasn't that hard but on the passenger side the paint did crack a little

 

What suspension do u have ? When I had my tein springs I had rota slips that was 16x7+40 with 195-45-16 and I was good! Then when I sold the rotas and springs I got my coils and put the 195-45-16 on the stockies and didn't rub! Then I had the autostradas pirelli which were 16x6.5+38 with 195-40-16 and I didn't rub. now I rub on dips cause my wheels now are 16x7+24 f and 16x8+24 r ! I did roll the fenders in the rear but not enough! But can't wait to see ur ride with the wheels!

 

i have just T1R S-coil springs. stock struts. the car is low as low can get. i'm maybe 4inch off the ground in the front....with my stock rims, and 195/55R16's. tires i'm getting are falken 512's 195/50R16's. this will bring me back to "stock" specs, however this will also drop me a half inch all round. i can't wait. lol. its just to bad that i'm driving 200kms a day for work on this suspension. i think, and hope you will be pleased with my choice. lol..... i'm going mad waiting.

 

good photos to come this weekend.....
