Hey guys i wanted to pull my fenders and iv never done it! Is there any write ups on it, or does anyone have any links, or pics ? Thanks!

Are you new at body work? Do you have a fender roller? You can easily mess up your fenders if you are not careful, ive seen it way too many times.


Before the pull. . .







After all finished . . .


You can use a hammer and dolly to slowly beat on each fender til it is at the desired spot then you can contour the shape with body filler.

Sorry to hi-jack thread but DAYMN! your car looks sweeet

NO NO not what i had i mind! Every one talks about mild fender pulls and no one said anything about beating it out and then Bondoing it back to a shape!

Well BTW what size are you running ?


Its amazing I feel like I am on the same mod time frame you guys are ...

I just called Kevin or (spanky) and asked about this ... I am looking at buying a 19x10 with a -2 offset .. I hope he doesn't mind ...

Here is a shot or his rear ... sick ... h has a 19x10 with a -7 offset



From what I understand it was the lip unrolled and added welds to make stronger and body work .... will be looking more into this


We did over fenders on brothers car and We just hacked up and reclosed and sealed ... Nothing to easy about this mod ... and requires body work ...

well when i went to japan, i saw some guy doing it to a toyota crown, and its the same as rolling fenders but they just do it slowly and more outwards to pull them out. They were using some hammers too. hopefully someone can chime in.

BTW what offset do you have and size wheels ??

I am looking at a pair of similar and wonder how the filament of a 19" F9.5J R10.5J OFF +19

Really wonder how these would look very Nice when seeing it on your car ...

Maybe a real Minor lip cut then .. and very minor pull

The fronts will be fine just as long as you roll the fenders. With the rear, you are going to need to shave the fender as much as you can and adjust the camber a tad. This is assuming that you are running stretched tires, but if you are not, a pull is needed.

My new set up will be 19x9+8 and 19x10.5+17. My front fenders are already modified for these and the rear will be modified as I described above.

You are going to need a fender roller and a LOT for patiences. The front fenders will consequently get a pull when you keep on rolling and adding pressure to the roller, but you have to be careful and not do too much all at one time. The rear will be easier and more evenly pulled if you first do a shave or cut. The smaller the inner fender lip is, the easier it is to pull. I can never stress it enough that patience if the key to get an even pull and no wave on the panel.

Good Luck!
