Not sure if you want all this done to your perfectly nice fenders. Rolling them as flat as much as possible is suggested.

Pulled (not pretty)


Rolled

wow that pulled fender look so bad. DOnt like it at all.

Catch- I rolled my fenders myself. I also think my fender pushed out abit but not in a bad way. On black car u cant even notice but we did notice the fender being pushed out abit by looking at the left fender vs the right one

Awesome video. I wish I could find one of those tools locally, Id do it myself for sure.
I got quoted at 120 from Speedstar (recommended earlier in the thread) I made an appointment for monday afternoon... hope it goes well and they can roll them tight!

i had a local guy roll my fenders for $60 using the fender rolling tool that attaches to the hub. it also pushed the lip of my fenders out a lil bit...whereas my rims used to be flush with a 10mm spacer...i probally need a 15-20mm spacer now.

I used a bar and slided it back and forth on the on the inside of the fender and using the tire to get leverage.

Yeah tell them to roll it as tight as possible. I asked them if i can rent the tool but they said no.

Dangers of Fender Rolling - makes you want to roll more and moarrrr!!

[catch]

Im literally at the shop right now. They said they cant roll the BMW fenders that tight at all, probably a couple mm at the MAX.
I decided to go ahead and get an alignment anyways, but Im not rolling today. I want to find a shop that will roll them TIGHT! If I cant run a 10-15mm spacer then Id rather not even roll at all...

We'll see how the alignment goes as far as camber and toe adjustment then go from there

[OwnAge]

yeah, its not easy to roll the rear fenders but cause i used regular tools. Been a month since i dropped the car and i still havent done an alignment. Have no time at all.

[skiingmav]

I want mine rolled out about 14 inches so I'm going to use a street light pole like the Japanese guy recommended in his video.

[halkordy89]

i had my fenders rolled by some fucker and he buckled my rear left fender cuz he went to fast. as long as they take their time you should be fine though

[deanmc]

I recently got my fenders rolled, too, and I kinda regret it. I should have just played with tire size and camber to get the correct fitment.

The shop that did the roll said that the outside edge of the fenders wouldn't be pulled out if I did a mild roll, but they still got pulled a little, and now there's a little hump where the metal fender meets the plastic bumper.

[Mike@F1 Autohaüs]

You gotta be careful when fender rolling. When it's done too hastily the fender will flare out. It's best to take your time and be sure not to overheat the paint to where it'll start bubbling. Tire size is also key as well depending on the width and offsets you're trying to run

I just rolled my rear fenders yesterday with the Eastwood fender roller, heat gun, about 2 hours total time and had no problems at all, no buckling, no paint cracking. Wheel size: 19"x9.5 ET30 Tire size 275/30/R19. I had these wheels originally in my sedan E-90 and they never rubbed at all, switched car for a convertible E-93 and had some rubbing. No rubbing at all after fenders got rolled.

+1

same exact thing happened to me...and that little hump bothers the sh*t out of me.

[MeanMangoMan]

Ya, I had mine rolled and pulled. You can see in my sig pic, wish I had left them. To late now, not sure what to do...

[TxBeem]

Can someone take pics from the front and back what a proper fitment should look like in relation to the tire and fender when proper suspension, tires, rolled/unrolled fenders are used? Is the goal to have the tire flush with the outside fender?
