Wondering if any local members ever rolled their fenders. Need some help.
I need a bat!!
Help!!

 

Shea stadium has a few laying around. lol.

 

wiseguy


Or a belt sander

 

Are you getting rubbing with your wheel set up Plans for fatter wheels?

 

19x8.5 with 35 offset
I was riding on 235/35/19 but the ride was harsh so I just gotten fat setup.
245/40/19
On dips and bumps I'm rubbing in the front. Appears to be top dead center of wheelwell.
COnsidering putting a bat to it or a light shave.
Any fellow gs neloc have experience with this?

 

You can just have the fender liner shaved down some. Rolling the fender would only be necessary if you have rubbing issues on the outer edge of the tire/rim. I can take you to the body guy to have it shaved down for cheap if no one has an air sander.

 

in the center??? Does your lining have all the screws in it or is it hanging? If its in the center a bat isn't going to help. If you need a sander, i have one.

 

Take off the screw in the center where the tire is rubbing against and do a small cut right down the middle portion of the fender lining. Use your hand to push the fender lining up and you shouldn't have any problems..

 

I think Bill is gonna beat the ol GS with a bat if the fender liner continues to be a problem.

Good idea Dennis on the cutting You need a jack Bill

 

Will the fender lining stay up?
Gonna try it out now.
Let y'all know my progress.
Thanks again Neloc crew

 

results as followed,

Removed 4 screws that holds black plastic strip.
cut 2x4 plastic wheel well from top.
bent metal wheel well lining. (not fully bent back)
Going for test drive now.
I seriously need a bat to roll it further back.

 

better but still some rubbing issues

aarrgghh!!!

 

Too fat a tire for 19's in my opinion. That size will work better on a 18 inch wheel. Best bet is to sand it down at this point. Removing the liner completly is not a prudent option.

Thanks Dennis!!!
I'm going forward with putting the baseball bat to my car.
Seems like it is rubbing the lip of the fender. I will be heating the BlTCH up and rolling them back.
My offset is a bit aggressive with fat tire setup where my tires are pretty flush with the fender.
Hopefully the bat will work.
If not, im swapping back to stretch tires
