Default Fender Rolling Tool, Anybody Ever Heard Of Or Tried This Kind?

I was just doing some net searching on fender rolling options, and stumbled onto this tool. Has anybody ever heard of or tried this type of tool? LMK what you think...

Yep, i have a eastwood roller (the good one with the wheel), works great. Do some searching on here, you will find a lot of guys that have rolled fenders.

Been thinking about getting one of these as shown in the video, thought it might take the small ripples from the holes that the roller leaves behind.

But with the 20inch wheel setup you have, you wouldn't of had to roll your fenders right?

Hey ScottURnot,
I just read your wheel specs, and see that they are 20x9+36 & 20x10+35 right? Well I was thinking of running 20x8.5+35 & 20X9.50+35 do you think I would still have to roll my fenders since I would be a 1/2 of an inch less than what you have?

I would like to run the same size that ScottURnot is running. What do you think of that size?

My rears had to be rolled, the combination of offset, correct alignment and non stretched tires leaves no choice. I am not a fan of stretched tires and crazy camber.

You might get away with it but all tire brands are a little different. My rear tires run extremly wide for the size they are, I have about 3/16" between the tire and the rolled edge.

there is a reason that one is called a finisher tool. I dont think it would have enough strength to bend the metal that's what would worry me about it.

Yeah I feel you on the tire stretching/crazy camber thing. A tiny bit of a pull is inevitable with some tires and I do mean tiny. Right now I'm running Pirelli P Zero Nero 245/40/18 up front on a 8.50 inch rim and 265/35 on a 9.50 rim, and compared to your size the fronts should have no problems. Now the rears are compared in this way:
http://www.americastire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos (just type in the sizes I've listed)
So according to the calculator with a 9.50 wheel I shouldn't have a problem clearing right? Or should i still consider rolling the edge just to be on the safe? Thanks to all of you helping me out with this...
