Rolling fenders is a technique used to pull the fenders out so u can fit wider tires...

2011TCfrenzy

but what is it? like what do they do when they "role your fenders"? An example would be helpful.

Ok ghetto way is put a pipe or a bat in ur fender and lift up and role, its hard to describe, look up on youtube and search rolling fenders

Rolling and pulling are ways to add clearance to the wheel wells to allow for wider, lower offset wheels. you can use various tools. A hammer or an actual fender roller. Easy to do, takes a little bit of time, and is worth it IF youre actually gonna benefit from doing it. I see peoe doing it when they still have a 2 inch gap and it makes no sense.

I assume the KWs are coilovers and not just shocks with lowering springs? what size wheel is on now and how much clearance is there between the inside of the wheel and the shock itself?

Ya its a full set up and now I have 18x8 I just got my new rims that are 18x9.5 but I need tires, theres about an inch and a half between tire and fender, and ide have to check the gap between rim and shock

Do know what offset the new wheels are? Ive already looked around and I found one guy who put on 18x10 +20 all around and had no real issues. The fronts turned full lock each direction without hitting. the wheels were not for his car put he tested waters with it and it fit for the day they were on. I have no info on his tire size, camber-if any, and suspension setup.

I wish I could find the full specs on bakers car. All I know is the width and tire size. I want to know the offsets. The rears are perfect. The front is a bit weak though

DtrTc2

I beleive theyre +28 im not to sure when it comes to offset

S14DRFTFIEND

see I cant have more than +20. The lower the offset, the further the wheel will sick out which means the further the inside lip will be away from the shock

scottobahn

pretty sure yours are +38 unless you got the +25 that's the only 2 offsets the 9.5" rim comes in on the 522

DtrTc2

+25 my bad lol

scottobahn

nice....those should have a pretty decent poke!

scottobahn

DtrTc2

That's what I'm talkin about....looks awesome bro, can't wait to see it wrapped too. How is it rubbing? At full lock or when you hit bumps?
