Default I am SO Fuk hing Pissed

Man After playing with one side by banging and cutting and finally getting the rubbing to stop on my new RE 050 Tires 255/40/18, I found the secret to tuck the rear Fender without even chipping the paint or even have to tuck the fender lip.

I didn't think it would be so simple but it really is. I did it on the other side and did not have to tuck the fender lip. It is really hard to explain, but I am willing to show anyone that needs help. I cannot guarantee that it will work on your rim and tire set up, but my set up is pretty wide for 18's. My rims are 18x8.5 in the rear with +50 offset and like I said before 255/40/18's.

The first side took me an hour of playing with it to get it to stop rubbing and the paint is chipped (looks like crap). The second side took me less than 10 minutes with no paint damage and Looks GREAT.

I am posting this so nobody else has to be mad at how their fenders look after tucking or rolling.

did you heat up the metal first? I know that made my fender rolling experience go like cake and my fenders are still immaculate.

No i didn't heat them up, my fenders arent bent or anything it's just the paint that got to me. I will go get some paint to match and spray it. No biggie......

I wanna know what u did too!!!


U think I'd need to roll my fenders if I go 235 front and 265 on the backs with 17in wheels? I might use spacers too in order to widen the stance

I would have to take a look at it, you will definately have to tuck, how much and where depends on the tire and everything else.
