Fender pull on a FD?
I found some wheels that I really like, but unfortunately, the offset is too low.
17 X 9 24mm front and 17 X 10 20mm rear.
I plugged it into the wheel sizing chart, and I need at least 3/4 inch clearance in the rear and 1/2 inch clearance up front.
I want to run 255 up front and 275 rear. No stretchy tires for me.
My question now is, will a fender roller push the fenders out this much? Here is Shine's fender pull:
17 X 9 24mm front and 17 X 10 20mm rear.

hmm i think when you flare it out like Shine your actually hammering/pulling on the fender but I don't know. I had my fenders rolled on my Z but not flared the only issue is it's gonna be harder not to crack the paint when you flare out, maybe impossible, without actually painting them or they end up looking ghetto.
If your lucky you can find a really good body guy. Anyways good luck and post up your pics when your done cause i want to go with an aggressive offset on the FD like my Z.

Just go with a bit of a stretch you will be better off. I have 18x10 +20 in the rear and I need a bit of a pull for it to fit and thats with a 245 tire. 275.. forgetabout it never gonna fit even with a pull. Unless you raise it in the rear and ride around ghetto style. Also, im pretty sure I read that the car above has added sheet metal for that pull. good luck.
