thanks for the compliments guys! Glad i can provide some input about the eastwood roller. I went into this a little blindly, as i had jdmjay roll my quarters the first time.

Here are some of the things i notice that should help out a lot....

Heat is the key, make sure you have a good heat gun and get it pretty hot.

Take your time setting up the roller. I learned the hard way on my first fender and ended up having to flare it even more to fix what i screwed up.

Take your time rolling it. The rear is the biggie. If you flare like i did, you are more than likely going to cave the quarter in. This was not a problem for me because mine were already dented and needed some pretty major work.

Keep a good attitude. My friends were at my house when i rolled it and they told me that they couldn't believe how calm i was doing the roll. My philosophy is, that it can be fixed and thats all part of learning to do something. Sometimes you have to mess up to learn new techniques.

17x9+22 is about equivalent to 17x9.5+28, so 17x9+22 would be more concave than 17x9.5+35 I would think.


but they look great man! I wanted those before I bought my RE30's.

yeah, i just don't like the look of overfenders if you don't have other exterior mods so i really wanted to run stock body with a flare. I know its probably more work in the end but i think it looks cleaner.


I think the concaveness is the same on 9+22 and 9.5+35. The difference is that the 9+22 have more backspacing which allows for brake clearance, while the 9.5+35 have a bigger lip.
