Default Rolling Fenders

What exactly is rolling fenders? I know it has something to do with giving more room for tires on a lower car, my friend rolled his fenders on his s2k, but i failed to see a cosmetic difference. What exactly does it change, and how is it done?

it basically rolls the inner lip of the fender in so tires won't rub you can't really tell if it's done unless you look up under the fender

It's also done mostly on RWD vehicles, so they get the "flush" look for their low offset and wide rims.

300 bucks, wow.

I use a baseball bat and wedge it against the tire, while pulling up and rolling the outer edge, carefully.

$17, 15 minutes of time and a little massaging/TLC..... priceless.

Be careful not to chip or crack your paint.

About 4 of us split the cost of renting this so it worked out to like 20 bucks a person. was very easy to use and much easier then the baseball bat method

no sure why you would say that. when my integra was a street car I had to roll the renders to clear my rim/tire combo.. But I had a body shop do it.

I didn't mean it was just for RWD cars. I just said that it's usually done with the RWD crowd because of the nature of how alot of them want their rims to sit flush with the fender.
