Default Rolled fenders

I just noticed that my 3 has rolled fenders. Since these are stock 997 bodies, does the Carreras have rolled fenders as well?

I don't think regular 997's have rolled fenders. It is probably similar to the prior model. I remember a thread where the 996 GT3 had rolled front fenders to accomodate a wider front wheel. That is why when stock GT3 wheels when placed on a normally aspirated 996 they give bump-steer. Thus, one could not simply swap wheels.

I was at a friends house and notice how far in his 360 wheels were from the fender. I asked why Ferrari did that instead of moving them out to the edge to give it a more agressive look. He said it would scrape the tires and would require rolling the fenders to get around it. Then checked out the 3 and it had rolled fenders from the factory. Another factory track oriented mod.

Wonder if the 997 TTs have rolled fenders?

I think the GT3's and GT2's have rolled fenders front and back.

Carreras have them rolled in the front but not back. My old C4S had them rolled in the front and not the back so I assume the TT is the same.

Not sure about the Carrera GT though.
