its a tool that bolts to your hub, then you just manually push this thing in an arch motion inside the wheel well and it pushes the inner metal out to allow for more room.


but unless your puttin on TWANKIES i dont think youll need to roll anything........except a big fat blunt cause youll be soo happy you got new rims!

use a metal sniper and cut the fender every inch or so - then pound up with a rubber mallet. By cutting the fender on the inside, you reduce the chance of warping the sheet metal on the outside

225/40/18 shouldnt rubb as long as the offset is ok. I got a little more positive offset on my wheels so they lean more towards the inner fender which i can modify without taking a chance and screwing up the outter body. But with 18's i think there is minimal problems with clearance.

i'm tucked up front and didn't need any trimming to even the fender liner It's very close, but it only rubs when I turn HARD.
