i think some people are confused between a pulled fender and rolling fenders..

this was the best example i could find..

a pulled fender is much more radical than just rolling it.

Quote: Alright im wanting to know who has pulled their fenders here on the forum? I have not found any information or pics. I would also like to know from those of you that have had this done how much you were charged.

The reason why im looking into this is b/c im looking at a used set of IForged aeros and the rear is a 10in with a est 30-33mm offset. So either i would have to run nasty neg camber or pull my fenders to make them fit right.
is there any way you can measure the wheel for the exact offset? ive talked to a local wheel shop and was told you can safely machine 2-3mm off the back of the wheel to give you a higher offset. combined with some neg camber and maybe a little stretch on the tires this can be done without drastically modding the fenders.

in my head im thinking 33mm offset +3mm = 36mm use a 255/30 and dial in some negative camber and you'll be in set. or at least i hope so..

The Aeros would look hot... i say go for it.

Ive always wondered this. Ill have to call up some local shops in the area. Ive heard that alot of people end up sometimes pulling their fenders when they are attempting to roll them.

Btw did that shop ever give you a price for doing this ?

i never got a quote on it, but you'll have to find a machine shop in your area.
up here in jax there is a guy called lugman. he builds custom spacers, redrills wheels, and bores the center of wheels.

he actually has a website, but doesnt list much on it. www.lugman.com

maybe give him a call to see what it costs. keep us posted on how it turns out.

So did this go well for you VQ Hotness? Lately I have been thinking about doing this too. Then I won't need to run any negative camber at all. Do you have any pics?

You want some negative camber or your car won't corner well at all. IMO ~1 degree works very well.
