I havent seen them, but I did find this nifty device a little while back. I dont know how well it works though..

Screw that. Get a louisville slugger ( wooden... ) and just roll it against the tire and fender. Change the angle of the bat if you need to. Thats how I rolled mine and thats how all my friends have done it too. Just be gentle with it and move little bits at a time. Works awesome.

You know what works? wheels that fit the stock fender......

I have the exact opposite problem. 15" vert rims with 205/50/15 tires is smalll.

Impreza2RX7

i have stock wheels. but my car is lower than stock so the outside edge of teh front tires can scrape the fender if i go around a turn at speed.

baseball bat ?

1) Don't lower that car too much.
The rears get all fucked up anyways if you drop the car that low.

2) Most FC's running 225's is more than enough rubber to handle the car.
Stop buying cheap *** tires.

1) 225 is a lot wider than stock so i'll have even morescraping problems., although that is the size i want to buy when i get new wheels.

2) i already know how to roll fenders, the point of this thread was to see if they looked good on an fc.

They look damn near the same as non rolled fenders. I cant tell the difference on mine unless I look at them up close.

And C: Dont use a baseball bat to roll fenders.. Why halfass something you can do right?

adamlewis

Uh..Because it does the same thing and its a lot cheaper? Have you ever done it either way?

adamlewis

If you know how to roll a fender, you should know that they look the exact same unless you compare two side by side...

Impreza2RX7

Yes, I have.. Why ghetto rig something and chance messing something up when you can do it right? ALl of the body shops I've ever seen, do not have a baseball bat for rolling fenders..

adamlewis

Maybe its because theyre a body shop and make a lot more money than you and I? They get paid to do this stuff. If they were using bats, you think people would go to them?

Try thinking next time.

And please tell me how using a bat is gonna mess it up. It does the same thing that tool that you linked does. It cant mess up unless your a complete moron and go in there jacking your fender to hell and back.

A ton of people do it with a bat and dont have any problems. But if getting ripped off for a tool that does the exact same thing makes you sleep better at night, go right ahead.

Impreza2RX7

Damn, you're an *******.. I bet if I looked at your baseball bat rolled fenders, they look like complete ****, but whatever..

adamlewis

Yep. Thats me. The *******

Sorry. I just dont see the point of buying some expensive tool that has one sole application when I can do the same thing with stuff laying around the house. And no, my fender dont look like **** but thanks for playing.

OOOOOOOOH. when i sed rolled fenders, i meant rolling up the inside and rolling them out so that they flare a little.

adamlewis

...


.....


So you mean you want to know if anyone has flared their fenders...Not rolled...

Impreza2RX7

Yeah, i had the terminology reversed as well, I've never pushed the lip up, but just flared it out.. Sorry Adam You're not an *******, well maybe just a little bit.. j/k

Check my red FC in the above link. It has flared quarter panels and pulled fenders.
