Ok, help this old fart out. What in the heck is fender rolling? People will roll their fenders to accomodate for wider or taller tires. What they usually do is heat the fender and use a special tool, bat, or something to flare the fender out so than when then install the wider/taller rims and tires it wont rub

How much body repair work has to be done to smooth out the fender rolling afterwords before it's repainted? As some of the methods you mentioned would leave the metal work bumpy.

if it is done right, you shouldn't have to do any repainting and the rolling should be fairly smooth.

With the Eastwood fender roller there should be no body or paint work that is needed. I have done a bunch of them on LX's and never had an issue.

Thanks for the feed back guys! As always I'm a little leary when it comes to the body of my car. I'll look forward to seeing how it turns out and looks on someone else's car first.

Russ, unless your planning in lowering your car more that 1.5 inches, you don't have any reason to do this.
