I recently installed a set of drag slicks and they are rubbing my inner rear fender lip so i need to roll the fenders asap. They are slicing my tires all up and i dont want to blow them out!!!

I know people have used baseball bats and a couple of other things but i want to do it right and do it right the first time. i have tried calling Napa, Advance Auto Parts, local body shops and a couple autobody supply company's.

Can someone please shed some light on this and let me know whats best??

Thank you

Wont that chip the paint??

It will most likely chip the paint. Sometimes you can get away without chipping it but I am yet to find a sure fire way to do it. I have seen people using a large socket and ratchet also. Use a small socket and roll it then keep stepping up to a larger size socket until your satisfied. I work at an auto body shop and we wont do it here for just that reason. Cant guarantee the paint wont chip. Only thing I can recommend is most napas or places like that will carry rubber wheel opening molding. Its a half circle shape and has double sided tape on the back. Put a couple of pieces on the lip of the quarter panel and try to push against that instead of the paint.

I see they make a tool for it but its $250 on ebay and i dont want to buy it just to use it once...

those tires are going to screw the paint if they keep rubbing.
