I did I slight pull on my fronts with a regular fender roller, just slowly added more and more pressure to it..

got an answer
Originally posted by boligrafo123Rolling is just flattening the (usually) small lip found where the fender curves into the wheel well, while flaring/pulling involves pushing the fender outwards, which will cause the fenders to "jut out" more. Basically, a roll is needed to gain minimal clearance, while a pull/flare is needed to fit very aggressive offsets, or unusually wide wheel/tire setups.-Jorge-

ehh i just rolled the part that was rubbing which was the center. and it still rubs like crazy
at first i grinded out most of that putty stuff thats inside the fender. then got a bat, lifted the car, stuck the bat in there at an angle, lowered the car. it rolled and flared them a little bit. but not enough for my new setup.
so me and my buddy took a hammer to the inside to flaten them out more.
it helped but i still rubbed.
sooooo.. i got the bat out again. lowered the car on it. until i saw the fender pull out. i did it spot by spot. raising it and moving the bat an inch over every time to keep it even and not wavvy. its super sketchy and dangerous tho. luckily i didnt chip my paint
oh and on my car theres this little bolt that holds the bracket to ur bumper inside the rear fender. that was my first rubbing issue. u might want to grind that down a bit.Last edited by Dubmd; 11-19-2009, 10:26 PM.-Matt

Japanese style rolling
But go to a sports store, grab the cheapest wooden bat you can find, and then raise your car up so the bat will fit in, lower the car a tiny bit so there is pressure on the bat, and use leverage to pull the fender out. Then roll the bat around the fender using the tire as a guide, it shows it in the video, but does it in a crazy as well. I've done it on my audi without issues. The wood is soft enough to let the metal bend without going too far....iiililillillliliil
