rolling/flaring the fenders
has anyone tried to flare the fenders (front and back) slightly)? i need to have my fenders rolled and flared slightly to fit the rims which all have less than 2mm of clearance from tire!
i would like to hear feedbacks of how successful or not you were with flaring the fenders/rolling them as well.
i know there is a kit that has flared fenders (fiberglass) but i wanted to do it on the stock fenders. maybe an inch or so widened would be nice... i take it most reputable body shops can get it done well? curious how much it would run, if anyone has had the experience before.
thanks

turboteg got a pretty good pull in the rear. I have seen some pretty extreme pulls in Japan. Special care will be needed in though. If you look at the side of your car, you will see that there is a line in the body that extends from the front fender back. You will need to be very careful to keep this straight and true to the rest of the car.

here are some older pics of my car w/ 1in pull in the rear
test fitting my friends 19x10 +26 rims on the rear
i have since bought a set of 19x10 +18 19x11 +18.. front fenders are only shaved right now, but i plan to get the front flared in the same way.. pics should come soon
