I was just wondering if anyone here has experience with rolled or shaved fenders. I've heard different things from different people, and I was just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with the matter and which choice is better/safer/easier/cheaper.
Also if you are in SoCal, do you have any recommendations to any shops who could do this? -------------------- |

you can only tell if the car has a rolled fender by actually seeing the car in person or someone taking a picture of the inner fender lip.
I have rolled fenders on my Getta Turbo. It helped me when I was completely slammed with tire clearance, but this will only help give you about ~2-4mm of extra space between your tire/wheel and the edge of the fender. What happens (for those who don't know) when you roll a fender is, take your hand and touch your fender, slide your hand down to the edge of the fender where it meets the wheel well. When you feel the edge of the fender you will feel a lip about 2-4mm long that goes towards the inside of the car, this lip gets rolled up giving a little bit of extra space. ![]() ![]() to get more space you can PULL your fenders, but this requires a good amount of body work and repainting. |
