Now that's some fuckin' stance. Question.. what was the process of pulling your fenders like that? Mine are rolled and ever so slightly pulled but I'm not sure if a fender roller achieves the pull as it is on your car. What did you use to pull the fenders?

Good tire fitment; looks on point.

If you have the same wheels all around, you should've stuck with the same size tires.

Yeah I'll post up some bigger pictures. I like beefy tires that just me. I went with beefier tires in the back becuz it fills up the rear more to flush it better. I did actually pull my fenders with a fender roller, I just went very slow and careful to pull them out a bit so no cracking would happen. I just adjuste the fender roll to the bottom setting and with that u can pull them out quite a bit. Mike from atlp suggested that technique and i tried it suprisingly it worked. Thanks for the comment guys.

Do you think you can post close-ups of the paint on the fender? I'm thinking of pulling my fenders even more but if the fender starts to show waving and streaks, I'm going to avoid it...

Here are some bigger pics, yes i know i need foglights.

Pics of the fender work, if you go slow they will come out perfect! Just don't over due it, I first rolled it to thin out the fenders, then to pull I started from the top going down then pushing it out slowly. It can get wavy if you push it out too hard when the fenders are hot enough. Hope that helps Brian.


First pics, car wasnt dropped all the way yet, this is when i barely finished up the night before and wanted to see how it looked in the sunlight!

Damn, didn't think a fender roller could do that.
Question? How in the world are you not rubbing the front bumper.

^ Haha, Stockies ftw! They will tuck in like crazy! I rolled the fronts fenders too. Actually I don't rub in normal driving, but to go up driveways i have to slant a lot to not rub. The fronts are flared out a bit for my front clearance. I also stiffen my tein ss to the max stiffness, but i may consider getting some stiffer suspension.
