I was wondering if anyone can give me some input on the correct procedure to roll my fenders on a 97 civic hx..i have 17 inch wheels but i have wider tires so it hits the inside..Thanks guys

 

Uhhh go to the cosmetic forum for this BS.

 

a piece of exhaust pipe, raise your car, stick the pipe in, and then lower your car onto it. Repeat 20 times.

next.

 

...or try something like this.

Jack up that corner, stick an aluminum baseball bat into the fender gap, and spin the wheel, holding the bat at enough of an angle to bend up the sheetmetal. The bat will counterrotate to the wheel, so there is no rubbing or friction. Make sure you hit the top 1/3 of the wheel arch. Roll till there is no more rubbing. Have fun!

 

Hey Kevin, your new wheels are gay. Just playing...

Anyway, welcome to Honda-tech, hopefully you'll find lots of help here.

And honestly, I don't think rolling the fenders will solve your problem. Bring it to my house one day and I'll take a look at it. Your car isn't even lowered yet, so you shouldn't be having this problem.

 

Yeah, post belongs in Cosmetic section but I suggest you take it to a body shop to either have the lip rolled or trimmed. I made the mistake of trying to roll it myself and ended up with f'd up fenders. Trust me, have a pro do it.

 

How is this a appearance/cosmetic topic?? He's asking a technical question isn't he??

 

you could grind the inner lip down with a dremel, I personally havn't done it but sounds easier than usin a bat.
