Muellerized Fender Rolling Motto:
"We strive to ensure the quality of the paint finish will last the life of the car loan."
Ask yourself next time you want to get this job done elsewhere if they have the same motto or if they even care about your car a year down the road.
We don't have a set price for fender measurement/clearancing as it is not a one-size-fits-all job when done correctly and safely (clearance confirmed via actual measurement of the actual full suspension travel).Â* This means that each and every job is quoted based on the factors involved.Â* A partial list of these factors is:
* Wheel Diameter, Width, and Offset (this measurement especially can be crucial)
* Tire Diameter and Width - Note that tire sizes are like shoe sizes, they vary by brand/model.
* Type of Suspension - In general, stock suspension uses less stroke (less fender rolling) than a properly setup aftermarket coilover suspension.
* Condition of Fender - This is a biggie.Â* Some cars come to us with pristine fenders, some owners have been the unfortunate, unwitting victims of everything from a baseball-bat rolling job to "shaved" (aka cut, aka mangled, aka the paint is going to shed it's clear coat like a snake's skin) fenders.Â* In addition, they often have purchased the wheel/tire from someone who told them it would fit (usually a sales person who knows little to nothing about these cars) and now they've driven around with the fender not only cutting their tires, but the tires moving the fender without any regard to heating it up or doing it slowly and carefully like we do.
* Clearance to inner suspension arms, inner wheel well, bumper mounting flanges/hardware, etc...
* Intended alignment for customer - The alignment will affect clearance, but having an aggressive alignment is rarely a complete solution to fender clearance.
Please e-mail [email protected] so that we can get all the information necessary to give an accurate estimate and answer any of your related questions.Â* We ALWAYS recommend that you contact us to discuss appropriate wheel/tire choices because even if you don't buy them from us, we prefer appropriately sized wheel/tire packages because it saves you money and us headache.Â* Â*
Below are some sample images of various customer wheel/tire packages after Muellerized has measured and created clearance appropriately:
Volk RE30 18 x 9.5 +35mm offset Wheels and 275/35/18 Nitto NT-01 Tires (Evo 8/9):
To make this fit, the fender lip was not "cut" at all.
We have been totally appalled by some local shops butchering evos by cutting the quarterpanels to pieces and charging money for it, then representing their low quality work as "fender rolling"
Some other examples of our fender rolling are listed below.
Volk CE28 18 x 9.5 +28 Wheels and 265/35/18 Falken RT615 Tires (Evo 8/9):
Enkei NT03+m 17 x 9.5 +38mm offset and 255/40/17 Toyo RA-1 Tires (Evo 8/9):
AME 19 x 10.5 +22mm offset Wheels and 275/30/19 Toyo Proxes T1R Tires (NOTE: This is on an Evo X):
Evo IX on Muellerized Skunk 2 Pro C Coilovers with Gram Lights 57s 17x8.5 +22 Wheels with Falken RT 615 255/40R17 Tires (Evo 8/9):
Volk Rays TE37 18x9.5 +22 Wheels with Hankook RS2 265/35/18 (Evo 8/9).Â* Original fender "clearancing" done by "another shop" which was then brought to us for proper fender rolling/clearancing.Â* As you can see in the pictures below the tires have already been scratched plenty by the fenders being cut by the previous shop.Â* Poor tiresÂ* :'(Â* They only have 1,000 miles on them!Â*

Enkei RPF01 18x10.5 +15 Hankook 285/35/18 - Fender Rolling w/ stock struts - BEFORE CLEARANCING
(Tire had already contacted the chassis prior to customer bringing us the car. This had rubbed off a bunch of paint onto the tires. See how inboard on the tires the paint marks are.)
AFTER CLEARANCING:
We of course try to always recommend the correct size and offset wheels beforehand so that minimal clearancing is required if at all, but we understand it is not always possible.Â* If you have a question as to whether the wheels/tires you're interested will fit on your car (this means clearing the fenders at FULL suspension compression as well as clearing all the inner suspension components), shoot us an e-mail or give us a call.Â* We are happy to help and can often get you a price on the wheel/tire as well.
