Post Pics of your FD Wheel Fitment!!
For you guys pulling your front fenders, is there some technique you guys are using the keep them from flexing?
Mine keep moving near the bolt down point near the side skirts and door, so instead of pulling, the fenders move and I can't get good pressure against them, and eventually my fender roller bottoms out.
I only rolled my front fender lips under so I cannot tell you from direct experience, but
1) If the force is flexing the fender outward you could put a dolly on the outside of the fender where you want the bend to happen and move it with the fender roller. It would be easy to mess this up if you are not experienced in old time sheetmetal work.
2) Put wheel spacers between the hub and roller so you can exert force even with the sheetmetal flexing away. This could also have unforseen results such as creasing and dimpling FD front fenders don't roll/pull easily.
3) Take the fenders off the car and do what you will with it using old time sheetmetal tools. These are not paint friendly and require experience to use.

but got a killer deal on the gram lights. Maybe one day I'll find the perfect set.
The spacer idea was the first thing I tried, but the stock lug studs are only some long.
Actually, I used stacked bolt on spacers- ie, spacers with their own studs.
And I should credit ScrapFC with the idea and the use of his spacers!

Why did I not think of that....
looking into 18x9.5 +30 front and 18x10 +20 rear and running 255/35 front and 265/35 rears on stock fenders with a roll and pull up front and just a roll in the rear how would that work?
Not really any planned camber just the camber it gets from when I lower it on Stance Coils, but I do plan on rolling and pulling the fenders if necessary (probably will be) I was looking at the 9.5's for the fronts but Ive even been thinking about just the 10" +20 all the way around with a 245/35 front tire

Well I have a 18x10 +50 in the front now and I have rolled/slightly pulled fenders. I am at the extreme edge of the wheel sticking out from the top of the fender. A +20 will be more than an inch further out.
