OK......so did you roll, pull, or do both to the front fenders?

 

eww it looks terrible...

fenders are rolled and pulled. so if you are rubbing in the front here is one of the solutions

eastwood fender roller + heat gun

 

Does the plastic liner still bolt up?

 

before you roll the fender, you unclip the top clips holding the fender liner in, and tuck the fender liner behind the little fender lip and then roll it.

do you clip the plastic liner after you roll the fender?

 

i need more info man. post a pic from the inside of the fender, im doing this this weekend on my car.

 

no, theres no room to fit the clips in once the fender is rolled in. the fender liner wont go anywhere once its tucked in.

Frank, ill try and get some better pics some time this week

 

^^^

kool. im borrowing a roller this weekend. my fronts are 17x7.5 +45, so ill be ok with the 215/45's i ordered. i just have to run -2 front camber in a week or so once i have everything the way i want it. im tucked in the front.

 

Looks good. I will be doing this soon.

 

 

Did you use the same rolling tool for the "pulling" part as you did the initial rolling? Thanks

 

any side shots of the car?

yeah id like to see that too... that would bother the hell out of me tho, i couldnt deal with it looking like that. not that it looks bad or anything i just love that flush line...

 

yeah whats pulling involve?

 

The fender rolling process and pulling process are the same. The same tool is used. The difference is how much outward force you apply to the fender. TJ's are a fairly extreme roll/pull.

Francesco, I don't think you will need to go this extreme on yours with your set up. In fact I think it may be detrimental to the overall look of the front stance because it will appear to have a lot of wheel gap. You should only require a slight pull plus a full roll of the fender lip.

Here are some pics from when I did silentdancer's rear fender.



and here's a pic of a mild pull on another car I did.



You can compare it to the pull on silent dancers and notice the difference.

His pull has tons of clearance so he can run plus size tires or low offset wide rims up front and be slammed. :D

ok yeah thats how i did mine, just the angle on the wheel, how flush you make vertically, gotcha
