Fender Rolling?

[Mallyatx]

So Im gonna be getting my springs soon and I'm probably just gonna roll the fenders for a precaution.

Any how to's on this?

I have the basic idea.

And where in gods name can i rent that damn tool??

stock offset, you DONT need fender roll.
even if you go super low.

anything different than aftermarket offset, you may need a roll.
I 100% suggest you DONT try to do it yourself. It is very easy to really mess up, and when you mess up outside fender paint it is OBVIOUS and an expensive fix.

get someone who knows how or pay.
Fender Roller is the tool they sell, but rubber mallets some people are pro with, is the way i got it too and it looks smooth and professional.

Ohh ok so if I'm on stock wheel and tire size then I should be safe lowering without rolling?

i'm lowered on hr's, stock wheels and no rubbing at all. but if you go wider like18x8, then you'll prolly need a roll.

i intend to roll the rear fenders once i go with an aftermarket wheel. the stock offset is terrible and really shows once your lowered. if you wanna push the wheels out, a roll is neccasary.

Stock tires you should be fine. My ride is slammed and I'm on 215s and I won't need to roll the fenders. As mentioned, new shoes and you'll need to look into it

When rolling the rear fenders, using the rubber mallet/heat gun combo is not too hard a task.
You can find some how to's on youtube as well as on a couple of other car sites on the net.

All you need to remember is to just take your time.
And believe me, it takes quite allot to f*up a 6's fender using this technique.
The only way I could actually see that happening is if you went hammer crazy, and weren't paying attention to what you were doing.

Here's some examples:
