Ok guys this probably has been beat too death but I need some opinions. I have a staggered set of 18's running a 10.5 in the rear. I am thinking about running 335's in the rear they look awesome but I am worried about rolling my fenders. Will it hurt the body of the car? If you decided too run a 315 later would it look stupid? HELP ME OUT GUYS:what:

You can roll them and it won't hurt the body if you know what your doing (you can warp the panel) . If you do it yourself you need to take your time. I have 10.5's with 315's and they look pretty wide so I can't magine a 335 back there.......just sick!

Just roll them. I borrowed a buddies fender roller, the legit one that goes on the hub and I used a heat gun. I watched a couple YouTube videos and went for it. I didn't mess the paint up at all and it's mint. I did the driver side first and the passenger side came out perfect cuz I learned how to do it. Better safe than sorry, especially it your car is low like mine.

I have 335's on 10.5 Reps and they will rub if I hit a big dip in the road at high speeds with a full tank of gas. Fenders need to be rolled. I'm on H&R race springs with a 3/8 spacer on the rear. Probably going with 315 Toyo 888 for the next set.

get the fender roller from eastwood.Make sure you keep the paint on the hot side to touch to avoid cracking.Many have done it.Taking your time and heating is the key.Work a bit of the fender at a time.

I used a heatgun and a BFH. Took about 20 minutes per side. Just heat about five inches across and tap tap tap and move along.

I've had GS-D3s and Nittos 315s on a 10.5" rim with a filed down IRS bolt. Never had an issue. If you want 335s it's roll time.
