Anyone have any specs to share? I am guessing about a 205/50/15, but how close will this be? I have a 73 2.0, and although the paint color is not original, I might feel guilty rolling the fenders. Am I being too anal? Should I just go ahead and roll em?

I cant swear to it... but I dont think Hoosier makes anything smaller than a 205/50/15 (they make 14's)
Roll them. Be careful and take your time. B |

Thanks Brad, do you have any "professional advise" about doing this? I have heard of using a dolly, but the only one I have seen is about six inches long. Big enough?

I'm not a good person to ask for advice on rolling the fenders. I use a body hammer and dolly. I'm not much concerned with the paint (normally its on a production class race car) I end up with chipped paint every time. I have read many many times of people using PVC and baseball bats to "roll" the lip.
I say cut it off and clean it up with a file. I could also use a die grinder and cut away the problem area. B |

205/50/15 hoosiers lips rolled, but only needed to on one side really. use heat to soften the paint, it seemd to reduce the chips for me (i used a heat gun) I also taped it with electrical tape. the a dowel>>>bat>>>hammer to get it done completely. R (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
