Pulled Fenders

Have any of you guys pulled your fenders ? I'm thinking about doing this.. I need to optimize my traction in the rear and adjusting my Camber will do that.

i was thinking of having a body shop do this for me so i can easily fit my 10" +40 wheels in there with still being able to have around -1.0 camber, not the -2.0 i have right now.

I heard you can use the same tool you use to roll your fenders.. But you just keep on going after your fenders are rolled and it pushes the fender out.

you could do that, but it would be pretty hard to get the crease out perfectly and it would take alot of heat and a looooong a$$ time.

if you don't change the camber and just go with wider tires in the back, you'll actually lose some traction. equivalent weight spread out over a greater surface area equals less pounds per inch of downward force.

I had +40's on my rear with approx -0.6 camber and no rubbing issues even with three people in the back seat and bags in the trunk tucking past the top of the rim.
