It all opinion I personally also love the rolled fenders wit coilovers and thick wheels with stretched tires, but i've only seen one 240 on here with flares that i liked, i forget the guys screen name though. I believe you can do it with a baseball bat and just rollin the car back and forth, theres a video of them doing it in japan on youtube but its in japanese lol. I'm eventaully gonna do it but you gotta be careful and you might want to add heat because you can get a dent halfway up the quarter panel.

Hope this helps.

My head hurts.

I would only go with flares if it's too much for a pull. There are very few cars on here that can pull off flares. IMO flares only belong on some over the top project like AZHitman's vert. Have you considered overfenders?

I think rolling the fenders is nice, you get a clean body roll. the overfenders are nice but that gas tank lid and some of the gas pumps around here barely fit in as it is I think it would make it that much more frustrating IMO.

My buddy and I rolled my fenders with a base ball bat. Im happy with the results. It takes 2 people. one to hold the bat, the other to push the car. I really cant give you a write up on it but it worked well. It would have turned out better, but i had some rust in one of my wheel wells. That made it crack a little there.

over fenders do look pretty sweet with the right wheel
