Default pics of my sc







I am ordering suspension soon and I am thinking about getting my fenders rolled. I am just looking for some opinions on whether or not I should get them rolled, because I’m not sure if it will look good with the supra wheels.

thanks

get them cut/shaved not rolled, if not done right will ook weird wavy, if you get them shaved or cut it comes out cleaner. SC looks good what part of jersey you from.

you don't need to shave or roll them with stock supra wheels. I had 18X9.5 and 8,5 with a 17mm offset and i had to roll mine a bit, but with stock supra wheels (what i'm using now) with a 50 mm offset, you wont need to cut anything. Plus my car is slammed with JIC coilovers.

thanks for the compliments, i am located in central jersey about 30 mins from rutgers.

i was thinking about getting the fenders cut but i had just seen rolled fenders on a 240sx and i liked the way it looked. i thought that i might need to get the fenders rolled or cut when i lower the car because the rear tire sits flush with the fender , and it looks like it might hit the fender if i lower the car. the rear tire is a 275/40/17.

like i said, i had 9,5s out back with a 17mm offset and they rubbed, but with a 50 mm offset, you wont need to roll them. remember, when you lower the car, the rear camber goes negative a bit.

Thumbs up

Looking good there. I have TT wheels w/ Espelir springs and they do not rub so it's not necessary to roll/cut the fender but it's your car, do what you want. I like the 275's...

Is your car a 5 spd? I think I've seen it before... I'm in central jersey too...

I love the way those supra rims look
