Default Wide fender -rolled/pulled or aftermarket- thread.

There's been an awful lot of talking (and BS'ing) about rolling and pulling fenders in order to accomodate wide wheels and tires or of course about the everlasting quest to put low offset wheels under the S2k.

I've been doing some searches about rolling and slightly pulling the rear fenders, because I simply like a nice 2-3 inch lip. What I have found instead is this: "you should roll your fenders", "I'm having my fenders rolled on Wednesday (yeah right)", "a buddy of mine had his rolled" etc...

I just want to see rolled fenders, pulled fenders, overfenders, even wide body kits. Here's IIGQ4U's to begin with.

EDIT In the first picture it has OEM fenders. In the second and third picture the front fenders of the same car have been rolled and pulled between 12 and 20mm.

I love the understated look of the first two.
Still in doubt about the ASM overfenders on a road car. KFs are gorgeous though!

from my thread here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=516283

We wanted to run the J's Racing 6pot brake calipers on our AP2 time attack car, but rules state for some series that if you want to stay in street class, oem fenders must remain. Wide body kits, and wide fenders bump you up another class.

To fit the 17x9 +40 Volk RE30 wheels with Bridgestone 245/40/17 tires on the car some drastic measures needed to be taken

My solution was to roll and pull the hell out of the oem front fenders. This amount of rolling and pulling does not end with a smooth result, as i had to stretch it out quite a bit. After the time shaping the fender, it was off to the paint dept. for some skim coat of fiberglass filler, and prep and paint to make it look pretty again

Rears hard to be rolled as well, and pushed out. Also, the rear bumper had to be trimmed on the back side of ther lip, and mount screw moved back about an 1.5 inches. No painting was needed at all.

Here are a few pics of the front after all is said and done. Enjoy!

unless it's molded on a pulled fender, most overfenders really don't give any more clearance for wheels since it's just an additional piece (though it does help keep the look flush), am I correct?

When you fit overfenders and want to go all the way, you should cut out the bodywork.
I used to be a member of the Datsun forum,where many people did this. I wouldn't like to do it on my own S2k though!
