No modifying a car to me is about doing something different. making a vehicle stand out from a line of stock ones. At least I was here to answer the questions asked in the thread and not just hate or talk ****.

now now children lets play nice.

OK to answer the question how to pull fenders. There are many ways to do so...

first things first. in our 2gs platform its common for us to Shave the rear and Roll the front fenders.. BEFORE doing any pulls.. this way u can see if it fits and hope that u dont need to pull and eventually destroy your fenders.

From what im seeing looks like a shave and roll would do. if anything add a little more negative camber and it looks like itll fit no prob.

rolling the front (and if you want to roll the rears) can be done with a fender roller, baseball bat, newspaper/phone book and the likes + a heat gun + time.

to pull the fenders after rolling ide strongly recommend a fender roller + spacers. This ensures that your rolls/pulls are even and nice.

hopefully that helps.

First of all Thanks for the advice guys!! Most people come on the forum to learn new things and ask advice from more seasoned guys who have done there fair share of mods.. with that being said.. lets keep the smart comments to ourselves and share some info that actually can be productive.. Well back to the subject.. I am still getting some rubbing and I want know what else i can do.. Oh by the way.. my tire is a 225 not 215.. I don't know why i typed that in... any how.. this is what i did so far.. to help the situation. its a bit better but I still have some rubbing and i am afraid to put more than 3 people in the car..


1.Completely shaved the rears
2. Took the car for alignment to max camber.. however i don't think it's maxed..
3. Used a fender roller tool to push the rear 1/4 panel out somewhat..
4 Used a handle from a jack and pulled the 1/4 panel out a little

My question is i see lots of guys here have there wheels tuck.. now how can i accomplish this??. I want to see if i can camber the rears more.. but can i accomplish this myself or do i have to go back to the alignment machine??

Please any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

you can adjust camber yourself easy btw.. just a matter of getting it nice n even is hard.. along with the toe spec. (alignment after you max camber).

the guys tucking usually have extensive fender mods.. gotta shave where it rubs

LMAO.., word!

How much does it usually cost to get wheels redrilled in opposed to using spacer/adapters?

We did my fenders with a roller. No cutting, just rolled and pulled.

A quick cheap method I've seen before which I don't suggest, but the video is hilarious, is the phone book method seen in the video found here (mobile link hopefully it works)

235s in the rear? Max camber? Lowering springs? Shaved fenders? You dont need a pull. I'd have a professional hit those fenders with a fender roller and youre golden. A fender pull for all that is overkill.

I'm running same set up, I am running max camber all around, pretty slammed. My rear fenders are shaved FLAT, even pulled a tad bit and my fenders are still rubbing the lip of the rim.

I'm running 235/35 on mine.
