Just got back from England, actually rolled a couple of fenders when i was out there, lol.

If you're ever in WA you should let me know haha

But for now the guys at 425 Motorsports have done a great job rolling my fenders, I'd highly recommend them to anyone here in Seattle.

2 inches is a very aggressive pull on that car. there are a few reasons its not a great idea to go that far.
going higher on the offset, stretching the tires and using a good amount of camber may make the fitment possible with less of a pull.

Hey Toni I'm looking to get my fenders pulled an extra 2" on my 2005 Nissan Maxima in order to fit a 22x12 in the rear and by the looks of your work over the years it looks like your the man for the job.

P.S. I have 22x10 on the rear right now but I want that aggressive 350Z look, if you know what I'm talking about.

I hear you, i'm not a huge fan of the PBM roller. The cotter pin issue is just one of its failing. spot weld the nut on if you have to and forget the pin, its worked for me in the past.

The old skool hammer and dolly way works well, its an art you have to perfect, but can work better than rolling fenders with a roller.

Tony, Is there any option for doing low cars other than using the PBM roller or pulling/raising the coilovers?

I had an Eastwood initially but sold it after I couldn't use it for any of my cars without pulling the coilovers. I wish I would have played around with the adjustments more before selling it. I then purchased a PBM roller which is an absolute horror to use every time I need it. Every time I use the thing is ends up going through atleast 4 cotter pins and I spend more time fixing it then it takes the actually roll/pull the fenders. The overall quality of the roller is terrible in my opinion, but I haven't found a better option.

Any insight?

You do really well with this. Perfect shapes every time.

Last pik

I know, that one was a mission, came out great though. static but it totally looks like its on bags. clearance is literally only the thickness of a credit card ( my special measuring tool, )

Hey Tony, could you take a picture from inside the wheel well on the next car that you shave the lip off of? I know you say you should seal it after, but even with sealing won't it be weaker? I need to shave my e39's fenders but I don't want it to be any weaker or to get any water inside and start rusting.

I'll try to get some pics for you. i've never had any issues with the remaining strength of the arch. the trick is to not seperate the two layers of metal when you shave the lip.

any pictures of a porsche 993 (1995-1998 911) rolled fenders?

I'll see if i have any, i'm sure i do, mostly the 911 shape cars are all the same, a thin curved lip. not a 90 degree L shaped one like most cars. its a bit tricky to roll cleanly but with care they come out great.
