Just put 20's on my 2003 ES300. Anyone know a reputable shop to roll my fenders?? I'm in NYC.

you shouldn't be rubbing if you used a 225/30 tire and had the correct offset(these tires are almost the exact same diameter as 18's on a 40 series tire 25.1" diameter for the 18 and 25.3" for the 20 inch wheel. if you used a 35 series tire(26.2" diameter I think) than you can roll them yourself, look it up on past searches on here.

you can roll the fender with a baseball bat (like most people and shops do), or you can roll it with a special tool.. i think you can rent it from autozone or places like that

Hmm... I should've rolled the fenders on my old Chevy, regardless of the fact that I had the stock wheels on it

I bought these black rubber things( dunno what u call them) from Autozone u insert between the springs but its still not that great. It did raise the back up 1 inch so it helps alittle. Im gonna go look for a shop to roll the fenders tomorrow. I got 245-35-20's now. DAMN NOT RIDING LIKE I WANT IT TO Show u guys the pics tomorrow

Hey HB how exactly do you roll the fenders with a bat??? EIther I roll them or im gonna have to flare out the fenders. Sounds like a big project. I'll check Autozone and those other shops tomorrow. Any other suggestions????

im guessing it only rubs in the rear...

have your car on a jack, get an bat.. wooden is sometimes better, jack up the car so the bat can barely fit in between the tire and the fender and start rolling it from one side to another, caution though.. your paint *could* crack if you do it wrong or put too much pressure on it. the machine to rent from autozone is better and comes out looking professional

but if you have your car flared... thats $$, they have to cut the fender, slap on some fiberglass flares, and repaint that section of the car

Thanks HB!. I wasnt sure what you meant and I went out to ask a shop and thats what he suggested too. Yea its only in the rears. It sucks you gotta have skinny *** tires in the rear to clear the fenders. I'll try Autozone and ask for the tool.

Just came from the shop and I had them cut a bit off the bottom inside of the fender and so far so good. I had 4 people in the car to test it out. The tires didnt hit the fenders. WOOOO HOOOO

Ice, the wheels are looking good and sharp. I like how they go with the silver paint and the dark tint (20%?). Excellent job on modding the rear fenders to prevent tire rubbing

Are you planning on coming to the NYC meet in Brooklyn on May 15th? All the info found here.
