Professional fender "roller", mounts to hub..anyone?
Anyone use such a device? It's new in my buddy's shop & was considering it if necessary, but dunno if anyone's tried such a device or not.
Remove your wheel, mount this on your lug nuts, adjust per your fender, & widen-away...kinda neat.

The one I always see out there (Tirerack, Eastwood, etc.) will not fit the 5x130mm bolt pattern on a Porsche.

Hi ,we have one at our shop, dismount the wheel get out the heat gun mount the fender roller start heating the fender edge so the paint wont crack and slowly roll the lip flat with slow back and foth motions , and if you need alil bit more just crank the roller a few more turns to push out the fender

Not sure yet, 285-315 range. Still haven't decided on my wheels! REALLY thinking about the Volk TE37's just to be very different. Here's a pic of them on a Boxster, same color I'd go with.

I’ve seen them used on the Audi board a couple years ago and their reviews were excellent. They worked well on the Audis round arches, but I’m not sure how well will it work on the 928s rear wheel arches.

I don't remember where we bought ours but we initially bought Eastwood's which did not fit the bolt pattern. A proper one will flare the fender easily also. I have done some 928's far enough to fit 11" 45mm offset wheels with 295/35/18 tires without cracking the paint. Do not forget to use heat and plenty of it...

I have the Eastwood one. Cut up a very bent rim and drilled/tapped it for to match up the bolt pattern so we can bolt it onand give it a shot.
Haven't tried it yet. Scares the hell outta me. VERY point of no return!
