The tires i have been waiting on since i got the wheels are finally available. They were back ordered for the longest time and when i saw they were available i jumped on them. Anyway, the rears went from 275's, which were already 1/8" from the fender, to 285's. I ordered up this roller to make a little bit of clearance. I am glad i did because had i not, i would have never been able to drive home! I made LOTS of clearance but used all of it up with the new meats.

Nice work Steve! Do you have any pics of the rear straight on? I'd like to see how much rolling was needed and to see how great it looks.

thanks!!

its ugly outside and the car is so dirty......i had to limit my pic taking to just a few until the sun comes back out and i can toss in a bucket of soap LOL -

its folded all the way over though i can tell you that. Its really hard to get a picture of how it came out since its all black inside there and doesnt show up very well. Ill try though later.

Did you also get that strip of rubbery stuff squeeze put and fall off when you rolled? I found Isf much more difficult than is300. Much stiffer. Took a lot more heating to get it to roll easy

Appreciate you sharing your experience. Thanks.

BTW, chip or crack paint is always the concern. Were there any? Any advice on the heat gun other than the obvious?

More heat and more patience = no cracking or chipping.
