Default Fender rolling

Do places like Advanced Auto or Autozone rent out fender rollers? Got some 315/30/18 and I already took a nice chunk out of them. FML. Going to put my old wheels back on until I get the fenders rolled.

You can try to roll them with a baseball bat, that's what I'm going to do as soon as I get a heat gun. There are a lot of good how to's on youtube if you are interested.

i heard that's not the best way of doing it... it only works for some people

either do it sxynerds way (maybe he will chime in bc i forget what he said)

or rent the tool for a couple bucks and do it right...

how much of a drop do you have and what type/size wheel are you running?

My drop isn't very significant. I forgot how much exactly but I think it's dropped between 1-1.5" in the back. And I'm running an 18x10" Saleen.

that just sounds like the smartest thing to do to roll your fenders...with a baseball bat.

I had a local shop that mostly does work on nissans roll mine for I think around $70 or something like that. Call some shops in your area and ask around, i'm sure someone does it. FYI, I'm running 18X10 saleens on H&R Supersports, no rubbing at all with the fenders rolled

Don't take a heat gun near your paint if you don't know what you are doing Body work is something I leave to pros. That's why I am still sporting doors that need repainted where I removed the stupid body side moldings some idiot put on there

I saw your post in that other thread a few days ago but I don't remember the title of it. Didn't come up when I searched.
