Brendan has the roller/heat gun. He also has one of my 18x9.5 Forgelines mounted with 285 Hoosiers so everyone can get an idea on how far it'd need rolled for the widest 285 tire there is (A V710 has a .4" smaller section width. The Hoosier has huge overlap rim protectors adding to the width).
So for everyone wanting to do it tomorrow make sure you contact Brendan.

Timmy, pm me or call me if you are wanting to get yours done. I will probably end up doing mine Monday evening.

 

My car has to wait a while, my wifes tranny went out in her 01 Explorer at 72k miles . I bought a rebuilt one from autozone with a better warrinty then the whole car had when it was new

 

The rolling went pretty good. Carter and Brendan got theirs done Sunday afternoon/evening at Brendans. I got mine done today. It only took me about an hour and a half start to finish. The 285's now fit...no prob

 

Eli did you have any Issues with paint of little dents? Or did u get teh "Perfect Roll"

 

I didn't get the perfect roll...my right rear fender has a bump ...eh well...

 

ya, mine was not perfect aswell.

 

I've got the bump also near the bumper cover. I don't think it is possible to do it without getting it. Everyone I've ever seen has had the little bump. I'm satisified with how it looks though.

 

waaaaaaa

At least you got to roll yours!

 

waaaaaa

 

Eli probably got his done in less time as he did not have to use the manly pink hair dryer.

 

The only way to do it without the dents and ripples involves cutting the inside metal lip off as close to the bend as possible, then rolling as usual. Or some people do multiple relief cuts, but with either of those methods you need to immediately primer/sealer and/or paint to avoid future problems, and the structural integrity of the lip will pretty much no longer exist. That's pretty awesome that you can fit those huge tires under there now.

 

You guys all hibernating again? I took all next week off to work on the car, I hope to have it running by next saturday. Here's a pic of the new hauler:

 

Nice trailer, Greg I am off this coming Thursday & Friday if you need any help with any thing
Timmy

 

That's a nice *** trailer.


I started messing with my truck recently and figured out the lift pump wasn't working, I fixed that and it pulls like a champ now. My brother in law just bought a decent trailer so it looks like I'll have a decent setup this summer as well.


Are you heading up to Mid Ohio for that Friday test session, or just doing the weekend? I am going to go up on Friday for the HPDE in hopes of not having as many cars on the track. Anyone else thinking about going?

 

I'll be going up friday morning with Eli, Carter, and Brandon in tow. They are all running on friday, I am working friday and running saturday and sunday.
