I have heard that you can "roll the fenders" on the rear to allow wider tires. Anyone have a procedure or can you tell me the best way to do this? I have heard is it no more difficult than a baseball bat and rolling the car slowly back and forth, but I can't believe that is the right way...

I've posted this before, but here goes...that tool is an expensive gimmick. Careful use of a bat or something similar will do the same thing.
The effects of this technique are; a shortening of the wheel opening front to back, possible cracks in paint or filler, possible kinks in the panel away from the wheel opening. When done conservatively, you can get a little more room with little likelihood of problems, too much and you are asking for trouble. This is not stretching the panel to make it grow in surface area. It is rearranging the metal without changing the surface area. More room in one area means less in some other area. John www.ghiaspecialties.com |
