Its not really that difficult on the older Corollas, i normally use a hammer and dolly and flare out the fender by hand.
the only thing to watch is that they have a weld near the door, its easy to split that sucker, work the panel very gently and you'll be ok.Yeah, i'm that guy you've heard about that rolls and pulls fenders in SoCal , hit me up .

This is a G ride in the making, owner is still fine tuning the fitment, looks crazy wide...

flipping the inner lip out normally involves additional bodywork and finishing with bondo. so i'd probably call that pulling or flaring ... with extra bodywork, lol
did that on my never ending Mk2 Golf project...

Originally posted by mrg7243 View PostAlright cool. Have you ever done a Galant? I may be renting a roller soon. And for spacers how do you recommend measuring with the camber included?
bottom out the suspension by lowering one wheel on a block, getting a couple of people to sit in the car helps too.
measure the gap between the fender and the tire/rim.
the best way is to see if you can borrow some spacers though. or make some up with washers to test fit.Yeah, i'm that guy you've heard about that rolls and pulls fenders in SoCal , hit me up .
