Rolling inner fender lips... whats the best way to do that?
 

well i just what it says...

i just tried slaping on my cheap @ss rims i just got and painted up and wouldnt ya guess it.. tires hit..
whats the best way to roll the rear inner fender lips?

i put on the 215tire in the rear and it just about rubbed siting level... so i cannt run the full set of rims till i replace that one tire at least... and definatly have to roll the fender lips cause they try to cut into side wall when i corner hard....

Well, the method I have always heard of people doing is with a baseball bat, preferrably made of wood. Stick it inside between the fender and the wheel and literallt roll it on up on the fender.

fender roller(stay away from the bat..) and heat gun.

cuz even with the roller and heat gun, u will prolly still crack the paint just a tad..

where can i get or rent that roller thing? my other choice was just using a small cut off wheel making a bunch of slits and using some pliers or something to roll the metal up than using some primer and black paint and then some black silicone over the cut joints...

i was realy hoping to roll my new rims to this car show saturday but now i dont think ill be able to cause of that offsized tire no way i can put it on the rear..... my only other way i think is to buy smaller tires...... i havent tried the front rims on yet so im not sure if they will be aproblem or not.... might have to buy smaller tires all the way around...

u can get them online ormaybe rent them from an auto store(if they have it). new they run around $200 for the kit so if i were u, i'd look around locally to see if anyone has a one u can rent. best bet is to look around some local autox forums. if u do buy one, u can atleast ease the cost buy renting it out to ppl and/or charging to do rolling jobs, i kno a few ppl that do it. i've heard of ppl cutting and clamping the lip but that can hurt ur paint more and also leave little indentations on ur fender. guy i met at a race last weekend did it on his hatch and u could see little dimples on the fender..either way u do it, u have to take ur time and be careful, and u'll prolly end up using that touch up paint.

ya ive been looking localy but i cannt find anyone or place yet... and definatly dont wanna put down no INSAIN 200-300dollar deposit!!!!!!
i think if i cannt find one to rent ill either have to just cut away and bend it up or ditch the rims :( and have to stick with some 16s. :(
