Default over fenders

if i install rear over fenders can i later go back and roll my fender while they are installed?
or would i need to remove the over fender roll and put back on?
would it be best to roll fenders before i even install?


thanks

I don't think its harder or easier with them installed or not. But If you plan on doing a fender roll, why not do it before?

The roll of the fender will not effect it, I had overfenders installed and also molded to my rear quarter and the fender roller was able to do it with no issue.

Without rolled fenders overfenders look outrageous. Non-flush rear rims = ugly + useless (since overfenders are just to protect rear tires when they stick out since they're fatter)

just do this:

Cut your back fenders

Roll them and have them spot welded back together

Sand down prime and then paint to stop rusting

Use some rhino liner on the inner fenders to re coat everything and stop rusting inside as well

You dont want to do this after you get the fenders on, it WILL be 10 times harder and you will end up pulling the fenders off and then putting them back on again

cereal? The point of over fenders is so you can cut a chunk out of your quarter panel to run larger tires.

if you're installing overfenders without cutting the fender out (not sure why you would come back for a roll later) then you are missing the point of the overfenders entirely, lol

so you want the look of overfenders coupled with the look of wheels and tires that sit far enough inboard that you dont need to mod the existing fenders? ew..

Let me tell you from experience... Roll your fenders first.. OR take a dremmel and cut the rear fenders...

If your rims and tires are as wide as mine, your gonna have to relocate the screw from the bumper to the fender back about an inch or so.

If you decide to cut, sand down and primer.

I've put stock ap2's with these over hangs and it looks stoopid... the whole point of overfenders is to push the rear out more..

I have 18x9.5 rear with 40 offset and 255/35's in the rear...
