I'm putting on a new set of rims 18x8 on front 18x8.5 on the back everyone tells me that i will have to mod my fenders so they don't rub when i put my lowering kit back on. i'm trying to figure out what to do. does anyone know of someone that manufactures a wide fender kit besides that 12 peice kit either that or maybe a suggestion on how to widen the factory fenders. thanks. :dsm:
 
you can call (not email, they wont help you) tirerack.com and "purchase" a fender rolling machine, it costs $80 I think, that is for the shipping to and from you, there is a heafty $500 deposit on it, but assuming you dont keep it, you will get the deposit back. or you can do what a friend of mine and I did, just get a heat gun, and make the fender about as hot as a black car on a hot day in the sun (this prevents paint cracking) and use a wooden baseball to roll the fender. Use the tire itself as a fulcrum and bend the lip up, do small stages the length of the intrusive area of the fender, taking baby steps. . . repeat as necessary.
