SO, I've been reading, talking to people, etc. about getting my fenders rolled, which I've needed to do for some time now. I know I can tuck a 205/40 on stock fenders, but I really thing 215's and a roll come out much nicer.
BACKGROUND:
1995 M3, Tein Coils, Azev Type-A 17x8.5 ET13 (same as Digitalwave, but squared at offset).
What I know (or think I know...) along with some questions:
1. I am not a body tech and E36 fenders are apparently more temperamental than others. I need to stay myself away from heat guns because they can get butchered fast. I love my car, so I'll be having them done professionally. I like getting my hands dirty, but testing my auto body skills on a 15 year old sports car isn't a good call.
2. How aggressive of a roll will I need to tuck a 215/40 on a 17 ET13 out back?
3. How aggressive of a roll will I need to tuck a 215/40 on a 17 ET13 up front?
4. What's a reasonable price? I got quoted by a tech (highly recommended in KC) for $50 per corner ---> $200 total, which seemed okay to me, but what do I know? Are there any other Midwesterners who would like to speak up?
5. What else should I know about this process? What other questions should I be asking? Tips, ideas, pointers?
Alright guys, drop some knowledge on me!
