Fender roll - Slammed cars

By octaneaccord02
- Sat Jun 28, 2008 3:01 am #60015 I decided to just post up for people who want to go slam but they rub. I use to rub hard when I turn the wheel. Sounds almost like a CV joint or clutch griding but it's really just the tired thread hitting the fender.

If you have the inner splash guards, say good by to sooner or later. Rolling of fenders you will need to remove them.

Image I decided to use my jack extended arm. Some may heard using a baseball bat. Well I also did't feel like raising my car up. This worked better because at my ride height, It gave an ideal of the right gap for clearance.

Image My stance.

Image I just shoved it right because it starts gripping where it falls between the fender and tire. So start rolling.

Image Rolled if half way then met the mounting points for the inner liner, so I just pry between them and push it toward the fender.

Image It now once done, it flared the fender slightly. No more rubbing!

If you have good paint please get a second person to hold a heat dryer. Not your hair blow dryer. It cost about $30.00 at places like harbor freight.

I would wrap the metal handle in something like a rag so it does not scrape up the paint on the inside of your fender lip and start to rust.

Yeah slamming your car the inner lip eventually going fly off. Slamming looks good but HUGE risk!

not necessarily, the i think he means that you will have to remove it because the bit that you are "rolling" is a part that is holding the plastic in. So i'm just guessing but if you could find a way to mount that edge you could keep it in there.

Mine was rubbing bad but i just bent the tabs that hold the liner back with my hands - you can bend them quite a bit. My wheels still catch the liner but its nowhere near as bad as it was!

- Sat Jun 28, 2008 6:49 pm #60098 WHat you guys said is true. If you can find away, yes you can keep it but when your at such a height. Your most likely to keep hitting upward so eventually it will just rip off halfway.

I'm going to go lower once my volks come in. Rotas circuit 8 for sale soon with tires $300 obo.

I want to do this fender rolling long time ago but I have no experience with it, and I really don't want to mess up my fenders. I've seen videos using that fender roller tool, I just don't know where to find/rent it.

- Sat Jun 28, 2008 10:23 pm #60118 I was forced to roll my fenders when I put on a set of Rota grids with falken azenis for an autoX. they rubbed nasty just normal driving. I didnt want to see what would happen at the race so I rolled them.

It got a lot cheaper, I just ordered it. I went lower and need another inch flare so I need it bad. Fender rolling is a must for anyform of racing, mostlikely your set up will rub.

I'm on 16" rotas currently with 215/40/16 tires. Tokico shocks and skunk2 race coilovers. Coilovers spun all the way down and I removed the coil lock. Daily driven!

- Sun Jun 29, 2008 5:01 am #60136 Thanks for the link, Octane. Those are wide tires, you really need to roll those. My problem is I have fat tires 205/50/60, that's why it rubs on the inside. I'm gonna check with the tire shops here if they have those fender rollers for rent.

Actually try a custom autobody shop. I know here ELITE who done all the custom work on my accord rents it out for $125 and he'll give you most your money back when returned depending on how long you had it. So maybe you might get that kind of deal?? I think I seen autozone had it, or it was something else that looked like it. :?
