Welcome to Stangnet. Rolling Fenders is not my area but there a few in here who may be able to direct you somewhere. Could you post an example of what you have and what you are looking to go to please. That may help them see what they can do for you

I bought this and it was worth it. Mostly because I'll buy another s10 truck and roll them also. But I rolled the rear quarters on my convertible with this tool and no rubbing anymore. If you were closer i'd just let you borrow it.

Edit: My rear tires are 275/45/R17.

Ok, get your baseball bat, jack the car up to fit it in the gap. roll the bat back and forth as you lower the jack. Then go to Eastwood and drop 90 bucks.

a fellow rochestarian, Welcome. We were painting the car and doing body work so we hammer and dolly' d them then fixed any of the imperfections, the Eastwood tool everyone is mentioning would be your best bet to not screw up your paint.

What wheels are you going for? the offset/backspacing matters too. I'm running a 275/40/18 on the rear of my car the wheel is 18x10 with a a 25MM offset I ended up having to use spacers to get the wheel out as it was rubbing the inner.

I used a 5/16 inch spacer, it rubbed pretty good, I removed the quad shocks and "massaged" the inner fender, I might try out a 1/4 inch spacer to bring them in a hair, the Car isn't on the road yet so I can't test it out on our wonderful roads but driving around the block nothing is rubbing, here are few pics to show how much room I have.

Looks good so did you massaged the inner fender wells first or after you put the 5/16 spacers in just wonder if I have to do both

yeah I live in Greece. I massaged the inner fenders first, but was limited to much space I had so I went with the spacers.

Ok so if I went with 5/16 spacers should I be fine without massaging the fenders well ?

spacers were to pull it away from the inner fender tub not the fender lips, the Lips still had to be rolled or you'll cut the tire. I've run 18x10's on all my foxes the vert and white gt had 285/3518's with 22MM offset wheels and all needed the fender lips rolled
