Got a question.....can this be rolled/pulled to fit these wheels?
I got a guy at a shop who says no it have to be fender flares or wide body and another guy who said with some time and patients he can make the wheels fit. I know i need smaller tires, these were the tires that came with the wheels.

that shop is just wanting some cash out of you... some pull and camber will take care of that.

First off want to say this is an awesome thread, Tony. Good to see people giving expert advice to the community.
Had a quick question about rolling/pulling. I have been researching a few things lately because I might construct my own roller and roll/pull the fenders on my 89 325i and get some DRW 10 and 8 staggered. From what I have seen so far cars don't have an even fender radius all the way around, if makes sense. Usually the top part of the fender is a bit further away from the mounting point of the roller. Do you have to keep this proportion as you roll/pull the fender or do they usually end up being somewhat evenly spaced in the end?
If that doesn't make sense I will draw a quick diagram.
Cheers,

The distance from the hub to the top and sides of the fender is almost always different, so you have to adjust the roller for each part of the arc.

15mm is a pretty big pull, you gotta be careful.Yeah, i'm that guy you've heard about that rolls and pulls fenders in SoCal , hit me up .
