Btw, that's too much rear pull for a wheel that narrow. Now if he had a 10.5 or 11 tucked back there it would look better than that 8.

those are probably his track wheels with spacers hence that pic was from a track event.

If you pull too extreme, you will put a wrinkle/dent above it.. I belive you have to cut slices, pull, and weld in sheet metal in between.

Lol, I seriously doubt you can get that much metal stretch from a roll/pull.I'm guessing they are rolled/pulled with a fabricated metal extension flare welded on and then bodyfilled.

there is 2 links. The VDub guys do it by massaging the fenders, sheet metal and by hand. That is the pimp way to do it. Hit up VWVORTEC.com and see what they got there.

Front fenders are rolled and pulled.

Rear fenders are rolled, pulled, and metal added/welded then probably bondo.

thats one way to do it, but from the pics he did not weld, he just used rivots.. thats probably the cheapest way to do it, you can see he cut the outer sheetmetal, then cut the inner sheet metal in a way so metal will be present behind the outer sheetmetal cuts so he could probably just fill it in with body filler.
