Haha, true. It always needs to be "just a little bit" lower.

[Iknowwhite]

how'd the fender roller work out ? it looks like it may work, post pics man

[s4cr]

i had time to roll just the front ones..busy weeks FTL

But it turned out pretty good..




oh, and i didn't heat up the paint, cause it had cracks, rust and so on. I now have an excuse for repainting the whole car. lol

That fender roller is gnarly!

Looks like it works well though!

Lol, yeah. It's the first time i had a welder in my hands
and i didn't have any professional tools for accurate cutting or drilling too.

I think i'm gonna write a DIY on how to make it

[s4cr]

Hohoho, 8.5j et12 with 225/40 fits with no problems now. That means i have the space i needed gonna put 215/40 on and a small (~10mm) spacer, to make it as flush as possible.
