Basically you slide the cylinder forward and then pull it back and the impact of the cylinder against the end of the pole just pulls the fender out. So the part where my fender and bumper meet doesnt come back in and its smooth all the way across the fender if you know what i mean. You roll looks real good tho, i wish i did it myself. I took it to a shop and i told the guy i just want a light roll, well he didnt listen so now my rears dont look as aggressive as they should be.

yes i've heard the slide hammer, but i dont want to buy one then use it only once lol so maybe ill ask around some of the local body shops might have one they'll let me borrow.

no aftermarket arms yet, this is all on stock arms with an alignment. i think the fronts are -2.4 camber and the rears are -2.7? something close to that.

Glad you like the wheels! Can't wait to see them mounted up tomorrow! the rear fitment couldn't have been any better!

Waiting to see the finished product as well. I've always been a fan of concave TE's.

I was wanting to pick up some TE37 SL with a 19x11 in the back, but I didn't want to pull my fenders anymore then they already are. I'm glad someone is doing it, it should be sick man.

You can only pull the fenders so far without looking tacky.

Props to Chris for taking on an insane challenge. Can't wait to see it.

thanks again everyone. i had to tweak the pull a little in the front for the wheels to clear, but hopefully itll be fine. ill try again once i get the tires on to see if there are any turning issues
