Rolled and flared my fenders today

[silentdancer]

I had some major rubbing problems with my 18x9.5+12's so I picked up a fender roller and got to work

Hmmm... The Flare job looks pretty good in those pics...

Did you have any problems keeping it uniform/clean with those spot welds inside the fender when you were flaring them?

I wanted to do that, but I was weary about having the flaring job look like crap- like I had body damage...so I stopped at the roll...

[silentdancer]

I didn't run to any problems with keeping the flare clean looking and not wavy. I was scared at first since this was my first time on an Evo but it turned out nice and clean looking.

nice work...post the final pics when you finish..as far as your front fenders go, did you do those or do u have aftermarket ones? the reason i ask i'm having hard time trying to roll the fronts if any

[tabio42]

i just folded the lip + fender liner tabs up, it was hard to roll the fronts flat because the small lip on the fender.

ill try to get a hold of a camera so i can show you guys how it tuned out.

[silex]

It won't matter if I roll my fronts, because I will still rub at full lock due to the Rallyarmor mud flaps. 18x9.5 here as well, but I think the 255/40 tires are the root of the problem. 265/35 would solve this problem I bet.

[WW IX RS]

Looks very good!

[dabie]

good job on rolling them....looks pretty good so far... be sure to post up final pics and any helpful techniques you may have used..

[LB_CT9A]

good work..did u use anything else to prevent the paint from cracking?!

[silentdancer]

heat gun, thats all that was needed.

helpful tip: if you are rolling be gradual with the pressure and be sure to apply constant heat so the paint stays flexible

more pics

[silex]

Do you still rub at full lock? I have same profile wheels as you and I do. What tire profile you running?

im rubbing on the fender liner not the fender. if i remember correctly they are a 40. but ill get back to you on that to confirm.

[silex]

I am running 255/40 and rubbed the fender liner as well. I have since removed it, but I still rub on whatever is behind the fender which happens to be the Varis sideskirts and Ralliarmor mudflaps.

[silentdancer]

any problems running without the liner?

[tabio42]

I'm beginning to think you didn't finish the project :) Where's the pics?

[silex]

any problems running without the liner?

None at all. I personally think that if you remove liners and daily drive the car though, you should have mudflaps as lots of crap does get kicked up and they will help keep it out of the weird places.

[Dead_Pirate]

what size wheels would i have to get to end up rolling my fenders?

[r0me0ne]

^^^depends on your suspension, and of course size and offest of your wheels..mostly 9.5 but some need rolling with 9.0 width wheels...

[s.gaspar]

hey bro can you help me roll my fronts???

[NipponHamFighters]

If anyone needs fenders heated, rolled or pulled hit me up too. I have 2 fender rollers. One for Basic rolling and one with a longer arm and larger angle adjustments for cars with wide oem wide fenders. I mostly did FR car but can do other cars as well.

[nicklulu]

what size wheels would i have to get to end up rolling my fenders?


mine is 9.5, but it perfectly tucks mine in. running 245/40/18 tire. any wide will cut

[silex]

nicklulu, are you rubbing at full lock? Or if not, coming very close to it?

[91_gsx]

yah gonna be in april, it would be nice to get everyone locally that has fender rollers and find a house or a shop we can all meet and work on cars to roll

[nicklulu]

nicklulu, are you rubbing at full lock? Or if not, coming very close to it?


yup, i slightly rubs at full lock, the thing is i can only hear it rubbing when on reverse. Full lock going forwardnot really. I already look, do damage though.

right now i just have bbs.....im getting swift springs this week...but im planing on getting 18x9.....so would i need to roll?

[nicklulu]

^^^ what offset?

[Dead_Pirate]

^^^ what offset?


havent got that far yet....haha i think im jumping ahead of myself here..... ;)

[91_gsx]

dead-pirate if it's stock bbs rims then no you won't need a roll. i had swifts on my car with stock size rims and tires. if the rims you're getting is not stock then if the offset is lower than 30 then you'll possibly need a roll depending what tire size you choose

hey how did you like the swift? did it fill up the gap pretty good with ur stock wheels?

Do you have any pics? if not dont worry about it....

[r0me0ne]

i actually just put swift on my car and it filled the gap a lot...but im not stock i have 18x8.5 and no rub whatsoever...

i need some day time shots.

[91_gsx]

what rims are you using and tire size

[silex]

Was thinking of rolling to fit 285/30 on my 9.5's.

[silentdancer]

what rims are you using and tire size


work emotions 17x9.5+12 with 245's all around

[91_gsx]

245/45?...why not get 255-40? or did you get 245's for more of a stretched looked...

[silentdancer]

those are the tires that came on the rims, these are only temporary wheels till i order the new ones
