Need fender work done.....
Some of you may know I got a set of new wheels
I originally ordered them in 19x9 et38 19x10 et42
Now..... as the wheels are at my friends place, he found out the rear is actually in 19x10.5 42et...
so if I do my math right, i have extra 6.4mm
I am guessing that i will need to get my rear fender roll or shaved....
Can you experts give me hand and see do I need serious fender modification done or just fender rolling?
Thanks!
Ryan

you need more than a little roll, you need to shave the whole fender completely and more. i have 10.5 +41 and i shaved all the way to the sides and more and i still rub a bit if it's rear heavy. i can fix all problems but lazy
you need SERIOUS work, this is for professionals

you don't need to pull it if you want, but you need to shave a lot

thats why when i first saw this picture, I was surprised how much it was stretching, and now I have the answer

It actually looks easy enough, since my friend will give me a hand on doing that.
I will shoot him a PM and get more info about.

Sux. I just finished up shaving my fenders (Thanks for the suggestion Glen 
)
After going through 4 belts(on one fender) I finally realised that I should be sanding perpendicular to the edge, not parallel. The second fender was a breeze.
Just some advice in case you DIY.
