Fender rolling question
It's the same reason you wear a seat belt. You don't expect to get into an accident, but you take precautions if it ever does happen.
All he said was that it is possible if u have soft suspension it could slit ur tires over a bump or sudden dip on the road and could cause a tire blow out or accident. He was actually looking out for you. Now I'd be laughing
if that actually did happen to you for not listening when someone's trying to help you out. The look on your face would be priceless when u found out ur fenders slit ur tires and caused a crash. Bhahahahaah
There is a nice thread in the Show & Shine forum that will permit your silly offsets & stretched tires. Please go there & post

There advice was off topic. I was looking for advice on rolling fenders and fender roller opinions. I was stating that my suspension will never travel that far. All i got was a bunch of thumbs down on my opinion. And as for u telling me i have no common knowledge on wheel and tire package is an insult. I was asking opinions on fender rollers. It says nothing on my question in that forum. So thats why i asked in general. I dont get why u must chime in on this.
What size tires are you running though? I measured my stock tire diameter versus what my new setup will be and its virtually the same. I know the offset is what is gonna give me rubbing issues though. My question on the trimming that 3/4' fender edge is dont you have to worry about rust after you expose that metal when you have that fresh edge on there? I suppose some primer and paint would stop it but to be honest I dont know why no one has suggested just trimming that edge off. I myself am I a HVAC guy so I work with metal every day so trimming that would be easy for me.
I'm running 255/35 actually, but with that said actual tire width varies upon tires, not all tires are the same, the profile of the width and the bulge of the tire is dependent on maker.
You are correct about the exposed edge from cutting, but normally you just reseal the edge no problem. CBRD swears by this method and I support it fully, it is by far the best way to ensure you don't F-up your fenders and you get the clearance you want. A double rolled, spot welded fender is difficult to roll as the two sheets will form and behave slightly different than each other, especially around the spot weld as the stiffness in the sheet metal changes.

U guys really are making this out to be a topic and a bigger deal than ever had to be. Its clear that u enjoy this so im gonna take my question elsewhere where it will be addressed for the question in hand and not given a thumbs down or end up where i am insulted when all i have is a two questions.

GTIjoe my question for u is who is CBRD? Just so i can look at any success they have had with fender trimming. Also what sealant would u recommend using after trimming? I am really thinking of going this route for many reasons. Cheaper, less risk of fender damage etc.. any tips would be great. Thanks for your time.
Yes I would highly advise rolling the rear fenders, I'm running 18x9.5 +30 on 245/40 tires ( coilovers as well) . You must also figure out if spacers are needed for your the wheels or not as well. With mine I had to run a 12mm upfront to clear the stock brembos, I'm in the process of purchasing 5mm spacers to even it out in the rear. Even with that 5mm spacer in rear bringing the offset to +25 instead of +30 originally I'd still get away with no rub

With +20 u do not need spacers. But with plus +30 do u need extended studs? Thats what subydude at wheeldude.com has told me. Btw if thats your ride it looks really nice. Flush. Thats the look i would love to achieve.
Hahahah this zenoise guy deleting comments cuz he knows he was acting like a jackass to the suggestions people gave him.!! You should be careful before u lash out at people for trying to help you it could come back and bite you in the rear.
