Default so another ghetto mod - Phone book fender pull plus some wood

I've already rolled my fender with both a bat and fender roller to get my previous wheels to fit. Now i've stepped up the size another size in both height and width. And well the wheels cleared if I was the only person in the car. I raised the car another inch and the positive camber that resulted didn't help. So back to lowering the car again.

So I need my fender pulled out another 3mm or 5mm or so. Out of fear of chipping my paint worst I avoided the bat. So after googling around I found the phone book pull.

Th idea pretty much raise the car stick a phone book under and drop the car. That did probably 1-2mm at most, our freakin fenders are thick.

First I heated the fender up for a minute or two. Stuck a 2x4 or piece of mdf wood under the phonebook for some leverage to get the pull I want.



Yes I was standing on the wood holding a heat gun and taking pictures at the same time.


Finished pics soon.

Why not just buy smaller rims? Seems to be less of a hassle, aint it? :-)
