I've heard the expression of rolling fenders before. What all is involved in that process?

heating up the inner "lip" of the fender, attach below device, then start rolling to bend the lip to create more room for wheels to travel

i don't know the exact offsets, i will leave that to flip, but with 11, i think the offset is probably around 46 or 47 (wild guess)

yes, rolling fender is a way to gain space, but i personally would recommend against this. with the lexus fender design, paint can easily chip when you roll it. i mean VERY easily. it's much better and easier to shave the fender lip. a cutter / belt sander will do all the trick. i did that on all my cars and my friends' car, always work

We had to heat up and push up the fender liner and pushed up the mount tabs for the front bumper and liner itself.

last time i think he went without the plate for 2 years?

seriously it's not that hard at all. we ran without any plate for over a year and never had any problems, even when pulled over
