Buzzman Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Is there any benefit to doing it after? i.e. seeing exactly how much I should roll them to prevent rubbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
574-240sx Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Depends how aggressive you are going. If its justa small roll I wouldn't worry so much about it. If your fenders are coming down on the sidewalls, I have seen the sidewalls starting to develop bubbles and the fender tear into the sidewall/tread.

Buzzman Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Well I'm going with a 35 offset wheel on 235/40/18 tires. I hear the rear rubs, but I don't think its that aggressive of a setup, but I may be wrong. So what would do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 What width rim? Stock or modified suspension? Stock height or dropped? Monty python references, too How would you roll your fenders with the wheels on? The Eastwood Fender Roller mounts on the hub. When I did mine, I put on the wheels and lowered the car until the fenders hit, marked the fender contact points, jacked it up, removed the wheels, used the roller until it looked like it would clear, then repeat. Keep at it until they dont rub. Depending on wheel width, you may need to add camber to make them fit. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzman Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I meant should I wait for the wheels to be on to see exactly how much I should roll them or should I roll them before I even install them, preventing any potential damage to the fender?

Buzzman Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Wheels width is 18x9, my bad. They're Rota Gforces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Wheels width is 18x9, my bad. They're Rota Gforces You need more than a roll, think body work. Seriously. You'll be at least an 1 inch beyond the fender if not more. Probably closer to 2 inches. Otherwise, you'll need extreme camber (-3 or more) and a stretched tire to make it work. And really stiff springs to keep the body off the tires. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm5094 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Yeah, roll before you put them on. You are going to **** up your fenders bad if you dont at least roll them flat. And you better have coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwm5094 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 And if you havent bought tires, I strongly recommend 225 with your setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 if you are rolling them yourself, it's much easier with the wide wheels on if you are rolling them by a pro or with a fender roller, then do it beforehand 18x9 +35 are easy to fit roll is all you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzman Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks guys and particularly drift motion. I don't believe I need body work other than a roll, I've seen this setup run before with minimal camber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
