Has anyone attempted to cut or trim rather than roll the lip of the rear fender to fit wider wheel/tires? If so, i would like to see the final outcome. Thanks

Mike

 

its not really done, because it makes a really sharp jagged edge that would shred your tire if it came in contact with it. and rolling gives a much better end result

 

I doubt it, seems like it wouldn't be too safe. I bet it would be more of a pain to do as well.

 

I know CBRD does it on a regular basis for their customers. Any chance for photos CBRD? If you think about it, there's nothing special about the factory edge either. It is still an edge that can shred your tires.

 

this is the better way i did this on mine 2 years ago. it tucks wheels up higher without hitting the rolled lip. you cut it out then sand it down and put a sealer on it. i reccomend this because i have big BF goodrich tires and they wouldnt have fit without doing this

 

Silver06evo9mr, is there any possibility that you can take some pictures of the work on your rear fender? Thanks.

 

Can any bodyshop roll rear fenders? Im getting some P45Rs and am wondering who would be able to do this for me.

 

ours are pretty darn smooth, and then covered in underbody.

CBRD, do you think you can post some pictures of the trimmed rear fender? I am trying to get an idea of the extent of the trim and what you did with the rear bumper support tab. thanks in advance.

Shaving is much better and will allow you to tuck what you need to. As well keep your paint intact.

 

CBRD, I didnt realize you guys are in York, PA. The company that i work for has a manufacturing plant in York, PA. Not sure if you heard of BAE Systems but that is where we do some of our vehicle manufacturing/production, while our engineering dept. is headquartered in Santa Clara, CA. I'll have to stop by and check out the speedfactory when i am in town!

 

yes i believe I have heard of it.

please let me know when you are in town!

cheers
