I am thinking about going with a more aggresive offset on my next set of wheels and would like to eliminate some rubbing if possible. As of right now I would much rather roll and flare my fenders as opposed to getting a wide fender. Has anyone done this before and can they explain the process. I have already modded my quarterpanels to clear my Work S1s, but the front looks more challenging. Please post if you can help me out.

 

Bump also wanting to know this.

Ep3: when you said you modified your quarter pannels, do you mean rear ones, If so how did you, is there a thread or a write up on this???

 

As far as I know, the s2000 doesnt have anything to roll in the front.

 

It does.

Ex:




See how the edge of it is rolled out instead of down. Making more room for wider wheels.

 

i dont know why i never thought of rolling the front outward. that ingenious.

do you have any closer shots of it?

also, i tried rolling my fenders on my old car a while back and the paint started cracking. it sucked balls. if you do it your self make sure that you use a heat gun so the paint doesnt crack and if at all possble, take it to a body shop. they have a tool that does it. it has a little wheel on it and it rolls them smoothly withut the paint cracking.

 

Someone tell me how to do it so that I can look like that too

 

Any more pics of the red s2k with TEs? I wonder what the specs are on the wheels?

 

I wish I knew more specs, if I did I would already have my order in for some wheels like that.

To do it, you're going to need some type of fender rolling tool that body shops have or go out and buy your own.

EDIT: Found this by just a simple search on google

somebody on s2ki rolled their front fenders...it was a silverstone too...let me do a search...i remember he wanted to swap his rolled front fenders for a set of stock fenders...

 

I think that those tools only roll the fenders under. I know that there are some guys out in SoCal that have done this.
