i am also wondering how it looks, could you get some shots of the underside too (if its not too much difficulty), but i would assume you cant fit a camera there cuz im assuming its dropped with wide tires? i am planning to roll my fenders very soon, because i will need to roll them before i drop my car on my shocks and springs, esp. with my wheel setup

if you roll your frontfender... what do you do with the innerfender??
I had to take 3 plugs out that keeps the innerfender(plastic) attached to the frontfender (metal) because it rubbed my tires. The plastic stays more or less in place but if I would make more room by rolling the fender I don't see an option to keep my innerfender in shape...

Any pics/ideas/advise on this?
And pics would be nice too

I pushed the inner fender behind the tabs and then pushed in the indentions to where it laid flat right at the fenders edge. We used an eastwood fender roller and a standard heat gun. The fronts heated up really nicely. Some advice is to go slowly with the fronts since they will roll/pull much quicker than the rears. I have some mistakes in the passenger side front fender but it is nothing a heat gun, a rubber mallet and some patience could straighten out.

For those waiting for pics. I hope to have them tomorrow. Sorry for the wait, just the weather has been not so nice lately.

I was thinking about this today and also wondering if the fender liners could still be run with rolled fenders.

Looking forward to pics.

u gotta, having a fender liner is 100000x more important to damaging fender than rolling it.

if u dont have fender the edge grabs tire=bad
if u roll fender and remove=same thing

fender liner causes the tire not to get a grip on the fender

in the fronts, roll them and then push the tabs up.. itl still rub but wont ruin fender.

you only need to roll the rears, the fronts might hit but it wont hurt anything just the sound of rubber on rubber. far better than modding it and having the sound of metal on rubber..or even worse the sound of ur fender against ground as it pulls the fender off from the blunt force and throws it on the ground.


i honestly dont know what ur running that requires such work and determination.. i can get a 10" to fit in front and a 12" rear w/ minor rolling. its more about the angle in which they hit, instead of getting them not to hit.
