Are they the 17X9? They look more like the 17x8. I always thought the 17x9 hub dipped in further.

[Didderson]

I vote for the thread change too. WC that looks dammn close to daytona blue.

Threads like this make me want new paint

+1 for the owner of it, cleanest chuki coupe I've seen in awhile.daytona blue sold on the 350 z's:

Slappy you made me crack up, I read down and all you had to say was... I need a paint job...

If they were 17x8's he wouldn't have had to roll and pull the rear fenders and run slightly more agressive camber than the fronts, if you look you can see the difference in camber of back vs fronts.

I dunno that dent in the 1/4 panel sure is an eye sore.

[White Comet]

Wow rear qtr panel not looking too swift there...sorta like

[rbsileighty]

There are a lot of "haters" around this forum... anyone who's ever done a big pull on a S13 knows that's the exact dent that results from it...

The roll looks fine... the pull looks good too... he just needs to have the dent fixed which isn't a big deal. I know b/c the same thing happened on my car... but at least I did mine before painting the car

Actually, anyone who's done enough of them and is careful and also knows when to not go too far can actually pull a fender even further than that and still NOT get the dent.

I'm pretty sure they are 17x9 +20....

same car, better wheels.



18x9 +15 F with 235.40 18x10 +20 R with 265.35 with mad camber

So what do you do so that it doesn't happen and you can go further? Every one I've ever seen pulled enought to fit large widths and offsets has this dent... not saying it's not possible... actually looking to learn here

Well, the simple answer is "just go slow." And in essence, that's the most important thing. But the complex answer is to be more aware of the angle of attack of your roller. That is, pay attention to the location and angle of the roller head when you pull the fender. The further out you go, the more you want to gradually move the head up the fender slightly. A lot of people just pull and pull and pull away at the wheelwell's edge/lip and that puts undue stress along the surface of the qtr panel till the metal can't stretch any further and it buckles (or does the nice little *pop* dent). By pulling the fender across a broader area (not just from the edge of the lip alone), you're essentially moving/flaring more of the fender out... of course once you're a bit up, you're working more against the inner fender skin than the outer, but that's where going slow helps... cuz every little bit you can move the inner skin does move the outer skin out a tad also. And finally, it comes down to learning to "feel" when that metal is about to give. Going slow allows you to read the telltale signs and stop before it's too late, while it's a lot easier to get carried away when you're just cranking the roller back and forth, and next thing you know... uh OH

[rbsileighty]

Excellent walk through! Definitely makes since and I really appreciate the detailed explanation

[DJButton]

So pretty much to do it properly, exact opposite of what I did... I'm still ticked that I just rolled it for no reason and ended up botching the 1/4 panel. Nice explanation.
