Default Anybody have a fender roller they can rent/lend?

About to lower my car and I know the rear is gonna rub on the fenders with the 305/30-19 on the back. Does anybody have a fender roller?

I was thinking of buying the Eastwood fender roller and a 130-120 hub adaptor to make it fit. Before I spend $300 I wondered if anybody had one already they could rent/lend?

It's ghetto, I know, but I recently used some 1.5 inch doweling from Canadian Tire.. worked a charm

I am sure you do realize that the lip on the fender is to give the body panel stregnth and rigidity right ? When you roll fenders you can potentially weaken that part of the car and create creases elsewhere in the body work, and you are driving a Turbo to boot..

That said i have seen people roll fenders with wooden baseball bats ...

I don't have a roller but do have a couple of 5 pound hammers you can borrow.

I rented from this company and was very happy with the kit and results. No paint cracking. Use the heat gun, go slow, its easy.

Not sure if you still need it but I have a fender roller at home. Bolts onto your hub, I've never used it..but I can lend it out if you do the work.
