  • Rolling rear fenders?

    Has anyone rolled rear fenders? I put 10.5 inch rear wheels on the back of my lowered fox coupe and the car is sitting on the rear fenders. The car has been lowered and sits about 4 inches off the ground.

      To be specific the tire is sitting on the outer fender.

          I'll have to get one, but I think that I'm going to have to raise the car up a little bit.

              Without going to look and measure, I believe my tires are 275/40 17's which is about 10.5" and with worn out shocks they rubbed and cut my new tires. I rolled the fenders slightly with a crescent wrench. There's videos on YouTube showing it done with a wooden baseball bat and heat gun. Koni shocks and new isolators was the real fix for mine. I like the stance it has now with 1.5" eibach drop springs, no isolators in the front, and prothane isolators in the rear.

                I've rolled fenders on a Fox coupe and sn95 using the Eastwood tool. it works really well, but will likely crack or chip the paint. Both cars run/ran 10.5 in wheels worn 305 rubber.

                  275 on a 9" rim for me as shown below, no rubbing... but it's all about the proper suspension setup and wheel/tire combo to fit IN the wheel well. If your 275 tire has the fender sitting on it, you have the wrong rims or rear end. We'd need a lot more detail and pics before we can help you.
