I remember when he made the bushing replacement tutorial for the S13!

The men of the retirement house might scare him away though. :)

Rolling just seems like the cheap 240 owner's way out. Don't they make nice fenders or something?

Pfft!

Also, I don't see how rolling fenders is a cheap way out of anything.
If you only want to fit a certain width of tire under the fenders, just roll em.

You could buy some fiberglass overfenders, but those usually start off at 20mm wider than the OEM ones, which is a bit excessive for some people. And for the rears you'll need to cut the body up and rivet the overfenders on. Bleh.

Rolling the fender lip flat will keep the car's body looking stock, and keep the nicely fitting OEM metal fenders. Yay.

LoL @ This thread.

I could have gone with stretched 275s.. But I wanted a Meaty Tires and I was willing to roll to get them.
I purchased knowing exactly what I was doing and that it would require a roll.. end of story.
