Fender Rolling on a BE?

[Suby00GT]

Anyone with any helpful hints on easy and inexpensive fender rolling to fit 18's on my BE? Thanks

Basically the same as rolling any fender - make sure the paint is hot, the air is hot, and the fender is scored on the inside to help the paint flex a bit when it's been rolled out.

You may need to have the area repainted.

Read the F'ing stickey...for god's sake!

but to answer your question, I have one of my own: are you absolutely sure you need to roll the fenders for 18s? MitchGT is running 18s on his BE with no rubbing issues.

Someone at Subydude.com said with the 18x8's I would have to roll my fenders and i really want them but dont have the mechanical know how to do much stuff to my car sorry.

Mitch is running 18x8 rota p45f's on his LOWERED BE, you'll be fine.

[Huffer]

Also depends on your offset. Rota's typically have an ET of 45-48.

If the 18x8's he's looking at have a lower offset, he could be in trouble.

[blackgtbeauty]

That is true, he's looking at Rota Torque's w/ a 48 offset, that why I said they'd fit :-?

[Suby00GT]

Yea the torques have a 48 offset but my second choice would be Rota Tarmac II's and those are 18x7.5 would those fit easier?

[blackgtbeauty]

18. x. 8. 48mm. Offset. Will. Fit. With. No. Problem.

great!! :grin:

[blackgtbeauty]

Yeah I'm in the same boat as you man.

[Suby00GT]

Hows that??? :?:

[blackgtbeauty]

I have an '01 BE GT and looking for rims. I checked out the Rota's quite a bit.

I'm thinking Tarmac III's for myself :grin:

[Suby00GT]

Nice!!! Im going to be getting them when the snow melts probably in March I am either between the Torques or the Tarmac II's. Are you at stock height or lowered??

[blackgtbeauty]

Stock height right now, I do plan on KYB GR2's and some H&R BH springs.

You didn't include the most important information - tire size. The rims aren't the thing rubbing...
