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!

I run 15x8 0 offset on my miata. The eastwood fender rolling tool was all I need to make them fit. Seriously with some time you can do wonders with this. However if you want to run the correct size tire, thats a different story

Fire, I am positive the bleeder is supposed to be on top. If you look at the OEM brakes, or any aftermarket big brake kit, the bleeder is to be at the top. Otherwise, how can you effectively bleed the brakes?
