Roll my fenders! - SRT Forums

I am having major rubbing issues with my 245s, I am wondering if someone has the roller machine available on the forums in SoCal. Let me know, need to get them done ASAP. Thanks

if you dont get your hands on it, you could always use an aluminum bat

I tried rolling my fenders and it chipped the paint around it. You may not want to do that.

you have to heat up the area you are going to roll with a heat gun

i saw his fenders today when he picked up a PTP check valve from me. its not that bad compared to mine. i know you can rent the fender rolling thing for $350 for a week. i looked into it awhile back. i was going to rent it and then have guys come over to use it for a small fee. but i never got around to it.

vice grips!

you can also cut the edge of the inside of the lip with a cut-off wheel, but that leaves sharp edges and allows paint to flake off. if you want a nice car, get the right offset and the right size tire.

if you don't want to ruin the paint, you might have to get some 235's. good luck

What's done to the suspension to cause the rub? I thought those fit if the suspension hasn't been messed with.....

enlighten me.
