any pics or tips on rolled fenders?

[Wannabe2.3T]

hey guys, im usually in the 2.3t forums but thought i would post this here alsso, because i know thw bigger the motor, the bigger the tires.
my fenders are eating away my $600 tires (255/45/17's up front and 175/40/17's in the rear.) day by day. mostly the rears. i could get some more narrow tires in the back, but i love the way the 275's look from behind. I've never really seen rolled fenders on the fox bodies, and dont know how hard it acctually is to do them. is it something i could take on myself, should i take it to a shop, or buy a fender roller kit? any pictures or feedback would help me decide on a lot. Thanks guys

If they are rolled correctly, the only way you can tell is by getting down and looking up from underneath at them. From the outside they look the same.

I'm not comfortable enough to do mine, and I've seen some shotty pro work as well, so for now mine are how they are...

Do a regular internet search for fender rolling, like on google or yahoo. There is a guy that used to rent out a fender roller. He has a pictoral on how to do this with Audi's. There are a few sites that go over this. I would NOT use a baseball bat. I bought an Eastwood fender roller. Haven't used it yet, but I need to.

See http://www.bmw-m.net/Gallery/haweka.htm for pictures & how to do it. If it works good enough for a BMW, it will work good enough for your Stang.
