Fender rolling..
Does anyone know how low a rear offset we can run on a 19x10" wheel with the fenders rolled? I love the g35 with some deep dish wheels, and wouldn't mind doin some fender rolling..or cutting..to get that look.

It depends on a lot of things and how extreme you want to go.
I'm actually rolling my fenders today, will post up some pics.
I was going to start my own thread, but I guess i'll just use this one.

To answer your question, above said it pretty well, but I will give you a safe starting point. +25 will EASILY fit will rolling (depending on tire choice of course), However, you can get away with +15 with a good amount of rolling (maybe slight pull) and a good amount of tire stretch w/ some neg. camber.

check out the pics.. i test fitted the wheels.. i'm glad with the fitment.. didn't want them to be sunken, however i didn't want them to stick out too much either. but some fender modding needs to be done. i can probably pull this off without fender mods, but i will be rubbing on dips. not even that, i want to drop the coilovers some more. Pulling fenders isn't a problem.. but i'm not sure about rolling them. I know someone on here mentioned they had a machine they were willing to lend out. If that doesn't work out, does anybody in NYC known a shop that will do a good job? I'm not too worried about cracking the paint as i'm heading towards the body shop at the end of this month for a complete job.

sc400texas, i was told that they were 45-50 offset, but the guy was unsure.. so maybe he was wrong? They look like 40 offset.. but im not an expert at guessing offset when it isn't stamped not sure? I am pretty sure it is whatever HRE and IForged assign for the SC. I think Derrick would know.

what tires sizes are those? 285 if I remember correctly? That is why it rubs. Most people running a 10J+20-+30 rear run 245-235 tires, which will help a lot in the fitment department.
If you want to see pics of a 10J rear wheel wil a +22 offset check out sliderSC's post. He is running 18x10J +22 in the rear. I forget he Volk offsets, but they are pretty aggressive also.
Also- I have a fener roller (which is currently being lent out to a friend in another state) but when I get it back, anyone is more than welcome to use it. I'm in VA.

JZZ30TT, you said you can ballpark the offset on my wheels with some better pics in the last thread? Just curious what your insight is on this.. what do you think? I just need to pull and roll very slightly so I can work my slam, right?
Yeah i've got 285s on the rear. I would have probably bought 265s or 275s if I bought rims only, but these tires came w/ the wheels so I might as well use them, just gotta make them fit correctly and i'll be set. If i'm not mistaken, Streetking is running 295s on his 19x11 ccws, he has had some fender mods done.. then again he has conservative offsets.
If you could lend me the fender roller when you get it back, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I think you have your terms a bit mixed up, but thats ok
rolling = making the "lip" of the fender flat against the vertical part of the fender.
pulling= actually pushing/stretching the fender outwards to achieve a wider stock fender.

I will also add that your paint WILL crack/chip if you roll the fenders especially if you pull them. So be prepaired for that.

Oh yeah I think i've got my terms mixed up. Well I think i can just roll my fenders and not have to pull them. If I ran a stretched tire I wouldn't have to pull at all, just a little roll if i wanted to slam. I would only need the machine if I wanted to pull, but rolling seems like a definate DIY job.
Does anybody have a write up on how to roll fenders? I heard RMMGS4 had one, but I didn't find it. I think they mentioned I could use a heat gun? Because I have a heat gun.
Here are a couple more pics..
