I used the paper pull on the fronts of both my subaru and Z, works pretty well on thinner fenders, I didn't have much luck on the rears tho. As it says in the link, your fenders must already be rolled though.

I've done my best to beat them flush with the outer fender to allow maximum tire clearance, but it's still not quite enough. Is cutting the inner fender and welding in a new bit of sheet metal the only way to get more clearance? See the 300zx link in my sig for what current roll looks like.
I'm also having a hell of a time pulling the fender with an eastwood style roller and/or the phonebook method. Hammer and dolly the next step?Yeah, i'm that guy you've heard about that rolls and pulls fenders in SoCal , hit me up .

It's with the painter now so want to do something before paint gets layed.
As your painter to reshape the arch with a hammer and dolly, any good bodyman worth his salt can do this easily.Yeah, i'm that guy you've heard about that rolls and pulls fenders in SoCal , hit me up .

It looks like you may be able to get a little more buy using the rollerm try a sharper angle with then roller, work slowly and keep an eye on the area over the arch, it will buckle if you are not careful.

heat will help to keep the paint from chipping nothing else.Yeah, i'm that guy you've heard about that rolls and pulls fenders in SoCal , hit me up .
