  • new diy fender roller for my 16's

    i have some 16x7 with a 42mm offset and 215/40/16 tires with 3/16" spacers in the back and they rub all around so i built a fender roller...

    the main plate:


    the caster and angle adjusting hinge



    off the car:



    on the car


    now i just have to figure out how to get it to do what i want
    I know its a piece of crap but im still faster...and its 100% legal!!!!!

          which sacramento are you in friend? Ohio? CA?

          Looks good I actually like the flare it added - are you applying heat when you roll the lip? perhaps your putting too much tension on it if its flaring the fender and you dont want it to
          About how wide is the flare?

                            is that fiero in the background?

                            I love the look of the flares, maybe I can get a buddy of mine to lend me a tool... I have to go with 205 55 15's in my aspire so the speedo will be correct, since I'm using the entire 626 setup.
