Well my 28x12.50 seems to rub a bit on the inner fender lip so they need to be rolled, who has done this before? I really don't wanna jazz up the paint job and some people say its unavoidable and some say it can be done with no cracks. Just wanna hear some expereince from people that have done it.

use a heat gun while you roll them to soften the paint. thats what i have heard, have not tried it myself but i will need to in the short future. let me know how it goes

Go on a vw forum and see. They all do it.

I have heard this as well.

Check out Stanceworks. Most of the guys on there aren't fan boys so they won't flame you like all the other German car websites will.

I still havent gotten around to doing mine. Probably this Sunday. I have a heat gun and the fender roller, I have lended my tool out to two people so far, one who didnt care if he cracked them because he was getting a paint job, another who rolled them without cracking. You have to heat the sheet metal until its hot to touch, and really take your time with it. I'll take pics of me doing mine this weekend and let you know any secrets, input

Honestly, my paint was 9 years old and it cracked. I used a heat gun and everything. But it was in winter when I did it. Your paint is new, do it during the summer and use a heat gun. You'll be fine. Just get a fender-rolling tool and make sure you heat up the paint, but not too much.

yeah I am too. Would hate to rush to get it done before the show, just to crack all the paint and make it look even worse ya know
