18x9 35mm eibach prokit Completly rolled fenders 235/40-18

dt07Si · 04-02-2008, 08:39 AM

^^^ Any pics of the rolled fenders? And how did the paint hold up?

20strong · 04-04-2008, 04:49 AM

It held up fine, I didnt have any fancy tools so I just took a blow dryer to it and a little 3lb hammer.

JeShUa · 04-04-2008, 05:14 AM

Self rolled fenders?

friedk · 04-04-2008, 05:20 AM

Baseball bat FTW?

JeShUa · 04-04-2008, 05:22 AM

How though?

dt07Si · 04-04-2008, 05:52 AM

20 strong, I'd like to see how flat the inner fender lip is now.

Jeshua, people roll their fenders with baseball bats and pvc pipes all the time.

FROM HONDA-TECH: "I didn't have a bat, so i used a thick PVC Pipe to roll the rear fender."

Usually you just wedge a bat or pipe in between the tire and fender and use the edge of the tire as leverage to roll the inner fender lip. A heat gun is still recommended though for the paint.

Nice.. The funny part is I have to use the cheap jack to get my car up high enough to fit a regular jack in there. I might have to roll.. We'll see.

Get a low profile racing jack and you won't have that problem. Best investment I have made in a while.

If your still going with the 8" wheels w/ a +38 offest, you shouldn't have any need to roll your rear fenders unless you are running a 225 or 235 tire with little to no negative camber.

I have more clearance issues with the front fender liners than I do with the rear fenders with a +32mm offset.

would 17x7.5 225/45/17 work on a si sedan with stock suspension?

friedk · 04-04-2008, 08:02 PM

easily.

mikeatr · 04-04-2008, 10:42 PM

would 18x7.5 +48 offset fit my coupe? Im not dropped right now.

20strong · 04-05-2008, 06:38 AM

I took the tire off and heated the lip area up with a blow dryer, then proceeded to beat on it with a little 3lb sludge hammer. It is flat, I folded it clean to the exterior being very careful not to make extruding dents.

It will work no problem at all, with or without a drop.

I think people need to start reading through this thread before they ask questions. A lot of questions are related to wheel/tire sizes that are very close to stock.

Piotrush · 04-05-2008, 08:00 PM

I don't think I trust myself to roll my own fenders if I need to. What is a fair market price to have a pro do it and expect a quality job?

It really varies, but I think an average price for most shops is around $50 a fender.
