Sooooo as the title says, i took my eastwood fender roller that came with my car and spent 4.5 hours rolling all four of my fenders and lowering my coilovers more.

tell me whatcha think and i know the back looks a bit lower but its cause the previous owner put 55 series on the front and 50 series on the backs

looks better man, but i dont think you need that much rear camber now. Space it out or clock out some camber ftw. Can't wait to see ur exhaust

Them sure is some huge friggin' tires. Seriously though, was the roll really neccessary? Running lower, wider, and straighter with nothing more than some lip flattening. just sayin'...

I can understand the front for the roll and maybe a pull but why the pull in the rear? The rear are no near the fender for even a roll.

Car looks good, just thought I would be seeing better fitting wheels to justify the pull.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. Why did you roll the fenders? Were you rubbing somewhere?

I can't tell from the picture of the front but it seemed like you pulled them too. I'm just try to see why you needed to roll/pull the fenders with those wheels. Cuz to me, it would seem like you now need spacers to fill the pull with those wheels.

But whateva...you car.
