I used a baseball bat on my rear fenders when my tires wouldn't clear them at stock height. No rubbing at all now.

But looking at the pic in your sig, it seems like you would have plenty of clearance. Even with camber corrected...

so i take it the camber in that picture isnt correct? i had the same thought

how bout a fender roller/puller...i dont know if its the same thing or two seperate things ive never used or seen one, just heard about it on here a lot

rent/borrow/buy the eastwood fender roller, it rolls and pulls fenders very nicely.

Eastwood put up some of my pics using it on their site:http://www.eastwood.com/text/c...r.htm

Did the fender roller also help you to "pull" the fenders, or did you use another method?

yeah i have nothing to adjust my camber in the rear right now so i have a good amount of negative camber because i dropped it, but when i give it say -.5 or something around that range then ill have issues....on another note... what kinda wheels you got on your s14 spanishricer? from the pic all i can see is a lip and they look nice and fat

It was the only tool used to pull them, just apply heat to the fender, slice the paint on the underside and slowly work the metal out.

They're Enkei PK-6's. Pretty much same setup as you, just a size bigger. 18x8.5 +24 up front with 245/40/18 and 18x9.5 +25 with 275/35/18 in the rear. The rear tires rubbed on dips and bumps while still at stock height, so I just took the Louisville Slugger to it

When you say slice the paint, do you mean cut grooves into the inner lip that's rolled flat? Sorry, I'm just trying to get a mental image of the process since I'm definately going to have to pull my fenders before I can drop my car.

yeah, you slice a groove in the paint on the part you cant normally see. Also, 9.5" width with +24 offset should tuck under compression with no issues, its probably those ginormous tires you have in back, or your camber is messed up.

Yeah, it's the tires...they're mammoth
