Anyone have pics of their fenders rolled out?

Guys,

Can you please post up some pics of your rolled fenders? Looking to see what I should expect if I wanna drop my ride...

Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but I wasn't asking for a procedure on how to do this... I was asking for pics so I could see what I should expect if I were to roll my fenders. In other words, I want to know how it looks so I can figure out whether or not I'm going to roll the fenders on my car.

people roll their fenders out of necessity not just because they feel like doing it... rolled my rears to fit a 255/40 with a 17x9.5 +28 ce28n wheel

I would have never wasted my time doing it if I didn't have to

it'll just make the gap between the fender and wheel look even bigger if you have no need for rolling them

^^ spoken from experience.

rolled fenders are for last case scenerios where you want/need a wheel and tire combo to jussst fit. If you don't need to (say keeping stock wheels) it will add to the wheel gap appearence and actually hinder appearence..

Im just saying from personal experience on my evo too.. it takes a long time to do properly and is kindof an art that needs patience. heating and heat lazering the paint to a cirtin temp to avoid stress cracking paint and gentle rolling slowly to avoid wrinkling and bending fenders... if you are thinking its a 10 minute project in the garage, I would think again.

Most of the time on a rolled fender you aren't going to notice all that much cosmetic difference. Maybe a little bit, but the majority of the difference is on the inside lip of the fender, which is actually what you are trying to roll flat. What I think you're asking to see pictures of is actually a pulled fender, which is different.

I've rolled the fenders on quite a few cars, and because they werent running extremly agressive setups, I rolled them just enough that you couldn't tell from looking at the car, but the rolling was done.

Except of course for the rusty wrx I did where the fender cracked in half...

Thanks for the input everyone. The reason I was asking was because I do have a need to do it if I keep my current wheel/tire setup (which I want to). I just wasn't sure how it would change the over-all look of the car. I'm running Volk TE37 Superlaps in a 17x9" +22 w/ 255/40 tires.

yeah... you're gunna need a roll. lol

depending on ride height too. guys with te's are usually running around pretty low so if thats you're idea then with a +22 you will need rears for sure (don't know about fronts because i've installed the evodave front fender since day one with my +12 front offsets...)

good luck and take time to think about it before you jump in (i know you already are just sayin')

I would do a roll just for peace of mind, every car ive owned ive rolled right away just for the hell of it, since my POS sti rubbed with 18x8 wheels with 225's.

That being said, You shouldn't need a ton of pulling, but a decent roll will help your setup
