It's so you can fit larger or wider or low offset rims/tires, otherwise they either hit or cut the tire.

You roll the inner fender so that it does not interfere with the wheel, mostly used on lowered cars I believe.

That looks so uncomfortable!

its so dope and so easy to do.. you could technically do it with a baseball bat. heat the paint up a little and put the bat in the tire and the fender. drive the car forward slow and it will roll them. be careful lol this can have disastrous outcomes. seen it done though!


Any body shop should have a fender roller.

Why would you roll your fenders just for the hell of it? Its not like you can even tell they are rolled unless you look up in the wheel well. There is absolutely no reason to do this unless you need clearance.

I thought that when you get a dent and you roll the fender out again. I was wrong.

[RedFalcoln]

Yeah, seems pretty useless if your car isn't that low. But personally I believe no Cb7 should be that low...

If you aren't careful, you can crack the paint, and then you'll get rusted fenders. The front fenders are easy enough to replace, but the rear fenders are welded to the body. NOT a cheap thing to replace if you can't weld and do bodywork yourself!

Don't roll your fenders unless you have to. I'm on 17x8 +45, and my stretched 215/45/17s leave me a few millimeters between my tires and fender. I don't need to do it now, but in the future when I go 17x9s, then it'll be a necessity. As of right now, it's not affecting anything in a negative way, so I don't worry about it.

In short, save your money for something useful/functional. As stated, many times you can't even tell unless someone has a very wide rim.
