in stead of rolling your fenders has anyone just cut off the lip on the inside of the fenders? if so did you run into any problems and did it look ok? or would rolling them be a better solution


yes i know things cant get messed up from rolling them so u dont have to tell me about it, unless your telling me how it happened on your car.

 

rust if it's not done with uber care.....
and may wrinkle cuz it's not really reinforced

 

That is a VERY bad idea. Like already mentioned an unfinished edge will be prone to rusting, and the lip increases rigidity in the fender.

 

if i did cut them i would go over it with some touch up to prevent rust so im not really worried about that but the rigidity issue might be a problem maybe i should just roll them?????

I would just roll them.

 

I cut my fenders and they havent rusted or bent in any which way, going on two years thats with lifting them to get on a lift

 

I cut the lip off the fender on two of my cars and never had a problem.

was gonna mention this beat me to it...

 

if you roll it or cut it......you should paint/repaint that inside edge anyways.

shaving can get your more clearance than rolling, plus you don't have to risk your paint when you roll it.

just touch it up and use a coat of silicone and prevent rust.

WTF?

anything will rust if you don't take care of it.

if your wheel and tire sticks out that much, then nothing short of widebody or wide fender can help.

if your set up is wide enought to hit the shaved fender you will for sure hit the rolled fender(with less clearance).

 

If you cut the lip off you need to reweld the inner and outer fender back together and treat it properly so it won't rust.
