OFFICIAL: Aggressive Wheel fitment FLUSH/STRETCH sedan
hey guys, i am going to get my front fenders pinched flat and have a question. The place i called (UMS Tuning) said that their rolling tool cannot pinch it flat. Is there something specific i should be asking for? Was he correct in saying that an eastwood fender roller will not be able to do this?
here is the pic of the roller they use

What you use is a Eastwood fender pincher.
The front fender are thin. It you roll them they could pull your fenders if not done perfect ..
They are about 50-60 from amazon.com. cheaper to buy it and do it yourself. Its very simple

So I went to get my car aligned for the first time since lowering it. I told the tech to set the toe to zero (which he got close, fronts @ 0.05, rears @ 0.1X, rears were 0.68). I had about a 5mm gap between the new slimmer tires and fenders so I asked him to add just a tiny little positive camber to get them closer.
I get home and my rear looks way higher than it did so I measure it.... It jacked it up an inch!? I check the spec sheet and rear camber went from -3.9* to -1.6*!? Would that affect the height an inch? Should I take it back to the shop and have them change it back? Or can I adjust the camber arms only without affecting the toe?
Should I have left the camber @ -4* and just added 5mm spacers?

Remove the screws in the fender well and clean the inside of the fender to remove any debris/dirt.
Heat up the fender and pinch flat (just the fender not the fender liner) .

is anyone running a 18x10.5 all around setup? i want to run 18x10.5 all around but what offsets and tire size should i get. I've looked at 4DGS sedan and it looks sick but im gonna pick up some varrstoens and they dont have 11.5.

would the front fit without rubbing though? i seen your pic with the xxr and its 18x10 and the front looks like it doesnt have any space left.
OK, photo is dark so I can't see how close the tire is to the fender. If its close and rubbing badly I would hold off on adding the large spacer until you get a smaller tire size, would hate for you to jack up your fender.
it's not rubbing at all at full lock.. the only thing i have to worry about is turning and bumps or dips. anything more then a 1/2 turn of the wheel and a bump will rub. I have the car raised up a bit now until the show this weekend to be safe though. at full lock there is about 2mm's clearance from the top of the tire and the fender
