I'm borrowing a friends fender roller for the next week or so to do the fenders on my Trans Am, he's planning on selling it after I get it back to him so there may not be a next time. Since all I'll be out of is a few hours of time is it worth it?
I know its not necessary with the top 195's and 205's right now with any decent amount of camber, but have people been having any issues fitting the 225 toyos? What about fitting 255's in CSP? What were the issues that people had in STX and STU with fender rolling in the past?
I probably wouldn't go completly flat with the roll, but it might be nice to have some freedom for future tires and wheel offsets for STS as well as for track days.
If I was in your position I'd do it. I can't imagine the string of events that would need to take place for a 1.6 to be competitive in a stock class, so why not.

My with current setup is 225/45R15 Hankook RS-3 on 7.5quot; wide +40mm offset wheels with about -1.6* camber on the rear and -1.8* camber on the front. I didn't need any rolling on the rear and the front would have cleared the lip but I had an aftermarket screw holding the liner in that has a protruding hex head, so I had to roll the lip at the top about 1/4quot; up. I did it by jacking the car up and using a wooden baseball bat levered against the tire... I found out the the fender is pretty thin and I could have probably bent the lip up by hand even. |
