Can anybody tell me the difference between rolled or radius fenders, and what are the benefits?

rolling a fender: pressing the inner fender lip against the fender to gain extra space to fit mild offest wheels while in a close to full drop application, usually resulting in a tuck depending on the drop.

ex: 19x10+15 (depending on the maker of the wheel)

radius fender:cutting into the fender to fit a massive size and offset wheel while getting the vehicle as close to the asphalt as possible. usually resulting in a crazy flush look while being fully slammed

ex:20x11-5 (depending on maker of the wheel)

im sure you'll get some better responses too!

rolling/shaving provides width/offset clearance, radiusing provides diameter clearance.

I don't know about "24's". Racinstylez is radiused for 20's. Really depends on your stances end goal.

not sure what you're refferring to but radiusing in this context means raising the the arch, not adding. it is done so large diameter wheels can reamin flush while the car has a low ride height. here are some pictures from my old maxima that was radiused to lay out on flush 19s (never completed):

Yo BLKonBLK98,do you think I need to do this to fit 20x9 in the front and 20x10 in the rear?

BLKonBLK98

probably not. radiusing is an advanced modification (though not particularly hard) for those going all the way. this is for the guys who want to run absolutely slammed at all times on larger flush wheels. here's one of my favorite examples of a radiused car:

Thanks for the heads up, I appreciated your input.

Thanks for clearing this up, I would confuse raising the fender compared to an agressive pull too often.....

Damn... I love that car and those wheels are my absolute favorite...

sorry to thread jack, but... whats pulling fenders? Does anyone have a video to post or a link?

Pulling is exactly what it sounds like.
If you use a fender rolling tool, once you've rolled the lips flat you just keep putting pressure on the fender thus pushing (or pulling) them out.

ohhh..i get it now! Thanks!

I thought they literally pulled (stretch) the sheetmetal. So, roll until you push out the fenders is a great way of explaining it.
