Hey, guys. I have a 17x9 +15 wheel in the back of my s13 coupe with 255/40/17 tires. Due to some miscommunication when getting my wheels, my wheels are not flush and they stick out about an inch and a half from my stock fenders.

First of all, I searched and came up with nothing. My searching skills must be weak..lol.

Can you guys give me some heads up(if any) before I go and get my fenders pulled out? Also, anyone have pictures of the stock fenders pulled with the same wheels I have(or any similar wheel/tire setup) so I have an idea of what to get done? Thanks.

Ouch - that's gonna be a BIG pull, and you may buckle the quarterpanels.

Here's a couple articles on rolling / pulling, follow them TO THE LETTER and you MIGHT tuck those in.

Wait - Now that I think about it, you shouldn't be sticking out THAT far...

I have 17x9, +35, with 275/40's and I tuck with rolled (not pulled) fenders.

Are you SURE you need 1.5" of pull? Let's see some pics.
