Member1115 Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Hey everyone... sorry for the newbie question ... but I keep hearing about too much of an offsetted wheel will "roll" my fenders. What does that mean exactly?
Tango Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Hey everyone... sorry for the newbie question ... but I keep hearing about too much of an offsetted wheel will "roll" my fenders. What does that mean exactly? The technique used for extending the wheel arch to provide more width clearance is termed "rolling the fenders", or in the UK "rolling the arches". If you have too much offset then the wheel will rub if you don't have them 'rolled'. Never heard it used in the context you're describing.
JIBBBY Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 The fender lip that is located near the tire can be rolled back carefully to allow more tire space so you don't rub... You have to remove the plastic strip first then with pliers and cloth protection you can begin to fold back the rear fender lips creating more tire space....

JIBBBY Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Now that's work...It's actually very easy to do on the SC's....
option00002 Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 It is a common mod. with the BMW community I belong to. There is a tool which allegedly is helpful though it apprears the majority of members have no issue utilizing a baseball bat or such. You will want to get the paint good and hot to avoid cracks and chips. Some individuals have been known to do it on the side of the road providing temperatures permit.
Member1115 Posted June 17, 2007 Author Posted June 17, 2007 I agree with schott1984... that sounds like some scarry stuff!!! Never done anything like that before, im afraid I would ruin the whole thing and get it all crooked or bubbly. Looks hella nice though!!!!
JIBBBY Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 On the SC's the lip rolls back pretty consistantly...
LLS Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 Rollers can be rented for about $50 for the weekend with about a $200 deposit.
SKperformance Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I have rolled my fenders also on the front and it works great but it does give issues to holding the fender liners in place
