I did mine 3 weeks ago - rears. I opened them up 1/2 inch. The key is increase the pressure slowly.

There is no "correct" method per se. Some have used a baseball bat, gotten the desired outcome and haven't harmed the paint or shape of the fender. If you're worried, you can go pay someone and have them do it with the "machine".

Use a fender roller. I would not take a bat to my car in any way shape or form

 

Baseball bat worked like a charm

 

Pauline, what size tires and what camber are you trying to run??

 

.... 335's!

 

= bad news if not properly set up!

 

I've done the fender rolling in couple of months. I've try Martin's baseball bat method. It works but you have to do it really really slowly to make it look good. FVD sell the correct roller fit our 5X130 bolt patten, but it cost $1K+. Then I've try eastwood fender tools, they were $250 and work great.

We have done 2 TT with eastwood. Both coilover with 315 rear tires. You will also need to hammer abit the alumium rear bumper bracket loacted at back side of the wheels well.

 

Yeah,

but I have bigger "Walnuts"...

315's are ok with me (that is what I run)
