I need to get it done.
Did you guys just bring it to a bodyshop or do it yourselves?
if so, then what did you use to roll it with.
Thanks!

My tires rub when I go over big dips in the road.
Any other way of fixing this problem?

I've done mine and my friend's TT at his garage with eastwood roller. The tool will not direct fit with 5X130 but some how it will work with one of the rotor bolt.

+1 on the Eastwood peiece. This is what we use. Works well. Go gentle and keep working it until you get it where you want it....Word to the wise. You can use a wheel spacer to make an adapter to fit the tool.

I used 3 lb mallet with duct tape on the striking end. 15 minutes total for both rear fenders (the fronts are already done).

It's looks, feels and works perfect.

Fender rolling tool and a heat gun. Let someone who has experience doing it do it. Last thing you want to do is crack your own paint.

Did mine with a fender roller (used a grinder to make it fit the bolt pattern) and a heat gun to soften the paint to prevent cracking. Worked perfect. The rear 335s fit perfect with a bit of -Camber.

Get a heat gun and warm them up before you start to roll them. Saves the paint from cracking.
