I think he's worried about dimples after rolling. If you're worried about that then you should get the fenders trimmed. I feel that rolled fenders are cleaner on the inside, but the downside is you're probably gonna get dimples. I got a few dimples on one fender, but I'm gonna get my car repainted so I don't care.

i am thinking about pulled fenders and just was wondering how it looked on a SC because i am pretty low and like the look but need to fix the camber and i cant because in the back the tires are not even a half inch from the fender and i want low offset wheels so i am thinking the best way would be fender pulling/roleing and wasnt aware of the diffrence but i am hoppeing this cleared up some things and am just wondering how it looks on a SC

To prevent wrinkling or dimpling whenever rolling the lip, you can use tin snips and cut the fender lip trim at equal intervals to relieve any kinking. Also, you should ensure that your paint is warm, either by sunshine or a heat gun, to avoid chipping or cracking of the paint as you roll. Lastly, take your time.

That snipping method is interesting. Never tried it but that could be good. The only way I ever managed to "roll" fenders completely flat without buckling was by actually cutting the fender lip off first and THEN giving the fender a slight roll (or pull would be more appropriate to say I guess).

there is a wheel and tire sticky at the top of this forum, that has hundreds of pics of wheels and tires with rolled pulled fenders, its hard to look through it all but there are other threads on the same topic, including one you started earlier titled "do i need fender work"
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...nder-work.html
The first post in the wheel and tire fitment sticky has pictures and examples of rolled fenders.

+1 on heat gun. Don't even try it without one if you value your paint.
