Default rolling back fenders ?

im rubbing on 205/50/15 in the rear and my car aint even really dumped. im thinkin of using a baseball bat to roll the fenders up in the wheel well. i did a search and cant find any instructions on this procedure and dont want to **** anything up. can anyone run me through this and let me know whats up with the pros and cons of this and whats up on how its properly done. THANX

It's pretty straight forward... but I wouldn't just jump into it... i"d practice on a **** box first to make sure you got it right...

You basically raise the car enough to shove the skinny end of a bat inbetween the fender and the tire....

then you lower it down a bit (holding it at an angle so it doesn't crush the fender just the lip. and roll away... it should go pretty easy. but there's BIG risk envolved.

and not to be a dick but...

SEARCH...

i think you meant you stick the larger end of the bat between the fender and tire??

either way go to the link , it shows you how to do it..

The guy I know who's done it to like 15 cars always uses the skinny end...

Some people use jack handles... it just needs to be large enough to bend the metal against the tire and strong enough not to bend itself.

screw it, cut them!!! you can use the bat to smoot out the ruff spots! use a metal one. it seems too much work tryin to rool them becasaue u gott take ur time or u can acuttally flook em up. paint chip, crake,...bad. i cut mines and rolled it with a metal bat. feels nice and no extra weight! for the rust part....get some jb weld and kind of spread it over the metal that is now exposed. BEST WAY TO GO! looks very nice if u do it right.

That's what I used, pretty much anything that will wedge in between and bend the metal up out of the way. Just take your time, don't try to bend it with one pass, go back and forth.
