To roll or not to roll

M5007 · 12-30-2010, 09:19 PM

Just discovered that the wheels and tires I have would require me rolling the fenders on my 328 with sport package.

Pros and cons from anyone who has done it?

roll it

Don't forget that you'll be voiding the rust warranty on those panels. In addition, your fender liners may not fit properly anymore.

Aside from that, the wheels themselves may cause your dealership to refuse warranty repairs on suspension bits.

don't roll it... trim it.. rolling takes for ever and prob. will crack the paint even if you use a heatgun

There is no reason you should not be able to fit decent wheels without screwing up your fenders

M5007 · 12-30-2010, 11:48 PM

Can you elaborate on the trim option? How does that work

I am not worries about rust in Southern California. Car is already out of warranty (miles)

Exactly, you might want to send them back and get a set that will fit without any modification.

Then you haven't read your warranty booklet.

What wheels do you have then?

Thumperx · 01-07-2011, 10:16 AM

I had mine rolled. It can be done if you have the correct tools to do the job. We took our time heating the surface gingerly and then applying force with special fender rolling tool. It can be done without cracking the paint.

Trimming is also an option. For this op, most likely you'll need to use a right angle grinding or drum tool.

What are the specs of the wheels/tires? Are you fairly low?

Most times you cannot really tell if they are rolled or not. I met a guy with rolled fenders on his coupe and it looked normal. The warranty is the rust warranty that was brought up. Apparently it goes past the standard warranty on your car. If you are in an area where rust is a possibility it may not be a good idea.

stop being a bitch and roll them

If your so worried about warranty, then dont mod a car . My fenders are rolled and you would never know..

M5007 · 01-13-2011, 05:32 PM

I am having to swap the tires. the 35 series are too big. even with a roll I am going to experience some rubbing. going with 225/30/20 and 245/30/20. Now I gotta sell the tires I have and get new ones....Daaaaaammmmnnn!
