    Rims, will it work?

    Just went and looked at the rims today (still in Van) and we installed the 9's in the back. The car looks great with them! But there is some rubbing, I dont have a great picture but will upload a better one tmr... the rub is high on the tire and right on the end of the fender... can anyone (jason) tell me how much more room I will get by rolling the fender?

      and another... so you can see the fender lip there, how much of this can I cut back? Does anyone know of a place to get them rolled?

          Off hand, I know that Kompressor Kanada rents a fender roller. I don't think the pricing is listed on their website though.

            Tunerworks rents one as well... although the pricing escapes me at the moment.

              I can't see anything in those two lower images, but in the shots of the wheels on the car, it looks very fitable, I have definitely seen worse. You're on your way!

                  get a louiseville slugger, a heat gun, and a jack and a case of beer + a few hours and go at it. i have rolled 3 sets of fenders like that with no issues.

                      It will work, heh.

                      I don't think you should run them until you roll your fenders though.

                        I can't remember how much you will gain. Maybe 1/2 inch or so. Basically imagine that flat piece that sticks into your wheel well being bent up right up against the interior of your fender.

                              Yea, back 2 took a couple hours, mostly due to the learning curve, i'm sure the first side took twice as long as the second side. If you want to do the fronts it will take a little longer because you have to remove the fender liners (I feel like a broken record here). I was totally paranoid about rubbing initially but once you roll the fenders it will be a LOT better.

                              Are you back Russell? are you running them already? You're not far from me you should bring it around. (i'm at home today).

                              I may be able to help you this weekend just have to check with the Wife first.
