Flaring out the fenders and 1/4 panels
I want to run wider rims/tires on all 4 corners, mostly for show, dont flame 
my question is what is a good way of flaring out the fenders, i only need about 1.1" extra, so the new rims fit and not rub, im not gonna do the work myself but would like to hear some ideas as to how to do this, weld new sheet metal and then shape it, bondo it smooth? THanks!

just roll the fender with a baseball bat.....
you just place the bat inbetween the tire and fender, and roll the car back and fourth while someone is holding the bat in place, you have to roll it back and fourth a few times to see progress, but alot cheaper than getting them professionally rolled.

He is wanting to add a flare to the fender like im guessing you can rivit a premade flare on and go back and cut the metal under the flare out.

you need a heat gun and a fender roller. You can gain a good uniformed inch with a fender roller and still have it looking OE.
