pulling fenders for fitment question
Question on pulling rear fenders. I have these specs. 19x9.5 & 10.5, 0 offset. 235/35/19 and 245/35/19. I want to shave the rears because I hate the distorted look of the rears being rolled. Can i stillbeableto pull the fender out even with a shave? I'm on air suspension and I'm trying to tuck the tire for stance. Thx guys
Also can i shave the front too? Or just roll the fronts and pull?

That will take some good pull to stuff those under there. Dont know if its a good idea to sheve then pull. I think it will make a mess. the inner and outer fender will seperate when you cut away the lip, then you are pulling two sheets of steel, sounds risky but I have only rolled so I am no expert.

you might have to get a little creative doing this,
0 offset isnt an easy pull, here is a 19x10.5 26 offset, but i wanted a 275 tire under that fender
so you might be able to pull it off with a stretched 245 or something, there is no way avoiding a stretch tire on this one unless you want mexi flush

1. So u have air ride, we still don't know if ur car is slammed or whatever, but...
2. your wheel specs aren't that aggressive, so you can probably get away with just rolling your front fenders flat (maybe a slight pull) and that should give u enough tire sidewall clearance.
3. NEVER cut/shave your fenders........NEVER. and especially dont try to roll them after they've been cut because they will warp to high hell.
4. Pay someone who is competent and has patients to roll your rear quater pannels flat, and then pull/massage them out. If the person is using a fender roller and heat gun, the results should look legit.
5. Stay away from phone books, bats, pipes, and any other ghetto nonsense that will result is a ****ty quality pull. I don't care who does it...it always looks like **** when it's done the improper way.
6. Good luck.
