Yeah, that's the problem I have with rolling my front fenders. Torch + hammer are going to go into effect here shortly.

Besides raise the car, or removing the coilover and supporting the suspension/spindle with a jack or something, you're pretty much sunk.

disconnect the coilovers from the strut tower (or from the bottom perch) & support the bottom w/ a jack. Works like a charm. If you still need more clearance, you can disconnect the sway bar, etc.

How much does it cost for a shop to roll the fenders for you versus paying all that money to buy tool to do it yourself? Also if anyone has one that theyd like to rent out for the day id definately be interested.

To just roll fenders, shops charge anywhere between 50-80, flaring is more obviously. Some of them also dont' care about your paint or getting things done smoothly, etc.

You can buy just the roller for around 300, more or less. Then add in heat gun if you want, etc.

I'll do it for a decent price since you are in So Cal , email me if interested. I charge more than some shops, but I go to your house & I do better work... imho.

Has anyone even tried pulling front fenders? I've yet to see a pulled front fender, wondering if it's even possible.

that looks good..

and that price is sic!

Why has not so many other people done this? does it require extra support to the fender while doing the pull in order to not bend the entire fender out?

Trying to lower an S chassis car on stock length dampers, is like laying on the floor and peeing into your own mouth. It will quench your thirst, but in reality, its not the best idea.

Get coilovers.

How do you flare this out man, I just spent two hours rolling this ****... my whole body is sore what a work out lol...

I'm trying to fit 255/40/17 17x9+17 front and rear... i've seen people even fit 17x9+15 with 255s same setup... even lower offset like wth... and they make it nice and flush...

I didn't even finish.. i was on driver rear... I really need help...

I got a heatgun that can go up to 560 degrees or something... eastwood fender roller and a mallet hammer or whatever it's called...

I saw the pix on here and WOAH its REALLY flared out outwards... i need to make this happen.. whats the frickin trick lol..

I'm in Canada.. car is up on a hoist right now... I need to flare her out Rolling I managed like what... 10mm wider?... not enough... still need another like 20mm widening to make the tires fit.. plus i plan to lower her a bit more... should be flush when all is done... but.. need urgently advice

You could try it out, but on "the other forum", one of the guys bought it & the roller head pooped out really quick - he ended up using a hybrid of the eastwood roller head & the PBM body.

For lowered vehicles, all you really have to do is disconnect the coilover & support the arm by a jack - just make sure you have the same height relatively on both sides.

If you are going to do it yourself, I actually recommend dropping the strut on both sides before starting & supporting both sides w/ jacks.

One of the things I've noticed when pulling fenders is that the hubs don't sit perfectly even with each other (one side has always been lower than the other - at least in the few cars I've done). One way to check instead of eyeballing is to take a measuring tape out and check from ground -> hub & hub -> top of wheel well.

Another factor that goes into that is the alignment setting - if your toe is off, or camber is different from one side to the other (usually is), that will also affect your pull.

For the most part, it doesn't matter if you aren't pulling a ridiculous amount - and if you look closely at cars with pulled fenders, they aren't usually even on both sides; no one's going to be running back and forth and saying "hey, your flared fender is 5mm diff on this side).

Good luck!

I don't roll random fenders anymore, too much time for the money. You're better off renting a fender roller locally.
