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

im gonna be doing this once i get my coils. definitely renting it though, way too expensive to buy for a one time use.

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.

that sounds like another variable that'll make my car look like crap when im done.

like, one side pulled more than the other.

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.
