Are you guys rolling your fenders, F or R, to provide more clearance for smaller offset wheels or wider tires? If the class regs permit you to do so . . . .that is!

 

Has auto-x been around long enough for five generations to participate? I am second generation.

If you rub, and your class rules let you, grab your biggest hammer and go to it.

 

My great, great grandfather used to race horses, does that count?

I'm going to assume you're talking about a 5th-generation Civic. However, next time, make sure you clarify what it is you're asking about.

For autocross, rolling fenders is legal in any class except for Stock class - which really isn't a problem, since you can't fit a wide enough tire on a stock-sized wheel and/or lower the car to really need to roll the fenders in Stock class anyway.

 

How are you guys rolling fenders? Any paint damage result? I need to help a friend roll the rears of his 944T, but since its not my car I'd like to learn a little about it first.

I've heard of using hammers to bang it out from the inside, pliers (with something in the teeth) to pull it out, or a baseball bat to fold it out.

 

I run a 94 Civic Hatch in SCCA and HC. When I autoXed, I used 15x7, I did not roll my fenders. The inside liner on the front wheels took some minor damage, nothing to worry about. In road racing I run 14x6 and have no problems with fender rub. My ride height and car set up is not really low.

 

For me, I don't. Then again, I just run 15x6 Integra wheels.

 

Nope, When I autocross, I run my H-Stock 1994 Civic EX.
