f1 will do it for free.

 

Its going to require a repaint on the inside anyways, so I say keep rolling and then seal the cracks. Did your friend use a heatgun and get it hot? I don't see how he cracked it so easy unless it was a repaired area

 

What I don't like about shaving is it weakens the edge of the fender line. Rolling helps to maintain that strong edge, while shaving removes it.

The best, but most expensive alternative is to have the inside edge snipped so its in small sections, rolled flat against the inside of the fender well then welded, which reinforces it. This does require repainting of the area, but it makes it stronger than it was before while giving you more clearance. Check out philthy's thread, I remember that's what he had done to his car.

 

welding that thin of an area IMO is a bad idea. The heat generated will likely warp the panel and result in more work. Snipping and rolling is ok, but just leave it at that and repaint.

 

he said that he did not heat it at all, just started rolling. do you think its something we can do as far as repainting it? or take it to a shop to have them spray the inner fender???? just a layer of auto clear coat would work, right?

 

you guys think that these offsets will rub on stock sport tuned suspension:

19x9.5 +19

19x10.5 +17

 

You can repaint it, I wouldn't go with just clear though, a coat of primer/sealer follow by clear or color would be ideal, clear alone likely won't stick very well and will eventually start chipping.

 

with a roll it will clear fine with just about an suspension setup

 

nice, so shave and then repaint or roll more (which might cause more more flaking and chipping, maybe going on the outside) and then paint?

 

redlude is correct

the front is already rolled from factory
my rear offset is +17 with 285/35/19 and i'm sitting on stock sports suspension

f1 did a pretty good job shaving my rear fender
however when i get my coils put on i'm gonna ask them to shave off some more because both sides werent even. damn my obsessive compulsive disorder.

hey redlude
f1 didnt touch up my fender shave
will nissan's touch up paint protect me from future rust?

i was looking at the rear fender today
it doesnt feel like metal how will there be rust?

 

so you were rubbing with that offset in the rear?

 

i can't say exactly

when they put on my rims they shaved the fender too
from what it looks, if they didnt shave the fender, my 285/35/19 would be really close to the fender so i suppose if i went over a bump it would rub

i've been told that 275/35/19 with stock suspension would be fine but you should confirm it.

 

^ thanks for the input, i might think twice about my tire size now

 

It is definetly metal so you have to cover it up. I can't say for sure if touchup paint will protect it, I would personally scuff and primer first, then paint

 

thanks
