How did you go about rolling the fenders?

I used a heat gun and hit it lightly with a hammer

Hmm-do 295s look too narrow on a 10.5? I might have to try this on my '84 with some bullitts

I think it would look perfect on a 10.5, nitto runs a little on the narrow side so a "true" 295 tire would probably be identicle to a nitto 315 DR.

...believe I might have to look into this one-you said just beat in the wells and hammer in the lips plus a spacer? No need to relocate any pieces? Would you recommend longer studs to accommodate spacers?

I removed the quad shocks awhile ago but I have hd upper and lower control arms as well as mm panhard bar. I would recommend longer studs if you will drag race it with slicks but 1/4 inch isn't that much, I ran it a few times with the nitto 315DR and spacers at the track with no issues.

How bad do you think I'd be rubbing if I ran a 255/40/17 up front on a 17x9?

I had to run rack limiters up front as my driver front would rub with 17x9's. I have 10.5 with 315s in the back. Took a lot of pounding and I rolled the fenders with a baseball bat. Probably not the most technical method but it worked. I managed to squeeze my tailpipes back in as well. For me its kind of bittersweet. The huge wheels/tires look great but they really arent practical and the work it took to get them under there was IMHO not worth it. If I had to do it again I would have gone with a 17x10 wheel and a 295 tire. That 1/2-3/4" goes a long way towards clearing body parts and frame.
