Due to a 5 lug conversion in process I am going to need to flare my rear fenders to fit some 225/16's on the rear. I have heard and been told by people that it has been done using all sorts of implements; from baseball bats to lead pipe to old strut cartridges! I also have yet to see the results look decent. So does anybody have and personal experience and pics to back it up or is this truely an "Urban Legend"?

I tried stretching my fenders with the bat must not have been going slow enough to really stretch the metal properly, as my door gaps started to grow. At that point (since the car was stripped) I decided to pie-cut the fender for more tire clearance rather than have to fix the gaps.
I too would really like to see a how-to thread to see what I was doing wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
