Hi,
Am looking to roll the rear fenders to fit 265 tires. Can someone help confirm that the Evo X rear fenders are NOT aluminium like the front? HAve heard that aluminium tends to 'ripple' when rolled....

Thanks!

 

I don't know if they are aluminum or not, but mine are rolled and they are fine. My fronts are rolled too with no issues.

 

they will roll out just don't be greedy! pic's coming waiting on paint. cheers from down under

 

Yes please hurry

 

On the evo's, try using a hammer with a T-shirt wrapped around it.
Get a heat gun, warm up the area so the paint doesn't chip.
took about 1 hour each fender, and not a single piece of paint chipped.

If you do use a fender roller, aluminum or not, just take your time. do it slow and small increments. You'll be fine.

 

Thanks!

 

You shouldn't need to roll your fenders for a 265 width tire.

 

they sell a fender roller tool if u guys didn't know. or the old school method

yeah heat gun work a treat with the new paint rpo3 enkie 18x8.5 245 45 dunlop direzza's r spec's also rpf 1's enkies to go on pics comming

 

Am running 18X9.5 +20 rims with a drop that I can hardly put a finger in between the tire & fender

Currently still on slightly stretched stock 245 tires and I get rubbing with a fully loaded car....

 

haha...I see. I guess that changes things. The fenders are aluminum though. Just take your time rolling them with a heat gun and rolling tool and you should be fine. The frustrating part is the rubber liner on the edge of the fender which will peel off when you roll the fender.

 

yeah that's the tool i used took about 1 hr for the first car 1/2 hr by third one

 

I have 265s with 18X10 Advans +25 and Eibach springs. I'm having zero issues. FWIW
