How do you guys roll the inside fender lips on a square ? In all my other imports i would take a baseball bat and have my girlfriend roll the car back and forth, while im keeping the angle and twisting the bat, then i'd seal any raw metal. I'm a tin knocker by trade, so what input is out there.

pretty much the same procedure -- my question is why?

Well, i have 195/50 15's on the rear, 145's on the front, and planning to go two splines all around 69 square.

Yu have an inner, and outer fender on a T-3. John Jaransen shows how it is done on his site, without the "baseball bat". He just slightly flared the inner fender and then put the outer fender back on.

interesting

It jsut shows a slight bulge in the outer fender when done.

the front will be fine, i'm rolling the same. i have swing for the rear, but i would think you would be good.

I am running 195/60 15 all around with the front lowered 2 splines -- no rubbing issues and I didn't roll my fenders...

I wonder if he has T-1 wheels on his car. that will make them rub in the rear.

Here are a couple of specific pics..

Showing the inner fender lip extension...



and the resulting "bulge". It really only shows up in the reflections.



There are some other pictures. Just check out the link above.
