Anyone here rolled their front fenders? I got KW V2's with 235's and i'm pretty close to the fender (when slammed) and i'm thinking if i can roll the fender.


Thanks

why not? a lot of people have done it. you can do it yourself with a baseball bat and a heat gun if you want. if you search youtube you can actually find pretty easy DIY instructions

Seeing it on video look easy but doing it is alot harder then one think. Too much heat in once spot and you're done. Tirerack use to have a rental program for fender roller. A shop try to do that on my car 10 years ago and F#%CK it up. The paint actually cracked when they rolled it. Btw, Mercedes fender are not like many other Japanese cars, it already rolled half way and not much more you can improve.

Yeah you can roll, and then pull the fenders to give you that extra width!

i know a shop in NYC that does a crazy job.

Had mine rolled... it seemed pretty easy... just apply heat evenly till fender was hot to the touch. Then he used a hammer to roll the inside of the fender. You don't really need to use the roller. The fenders are really thick, so using the hammer isn't as harsh as it sounds. If you need a dude in SoCal to roll your fenders for cheap, I know a guy. He's rolled 100's of cars. It doesn't take long at all to complete the job. It will definitely give you some more clearance up front. PM me if you want some details. He charged me $30 per fender.

Like Klinh said, the back is already rolled out of the factory.

PM sent. Would i be able to trim off the piece of the bumper where it meets the fender in the rear panel?

Wow......I said it a millions times. I used a flier to remove the edges.
