Default before/after pics spacers and/or rolled fenders?

Im trying to get an idea of what the b5 will look like with some wheel spacers and rolled fenders or even seperate, so if anyone has got any pics throw em up and any comments or feelings on rolling fenders at all would be great. look forward to seeing em.

well, ummm....if fenders are rolled correctly, there is nothing to see...lol

wheel spacers are for those who bought wheels that weren't wide enough....


pick up a set of wheels that are 8.5" wide, then roll your fenders and drop your ride a couple inches on c/o's.... Tuck is teh sex if the stance is proper

gl!

NOOB QUESTION...[8D]..what does it mean to roll fenders?? never really came across this before.

basically there is this little lip of mettle on the bottom of your fender which when you A) put wide tires on and/or B) slam the car to the ground, will rub the tires (which is not good), so when you roll the fenders you essentially roll that lip back so that you can get your car lower to the ground/put wider tires on, without rubbing the inner fender.

You can also just cut this piece of metal off, but then your quarter panels will not be as strong and more prone to being distorted f pressure is applied (ie someone leaning on your car)


hope this helps a bit

fyi - you can rent a fender roller from ecodetuning.com and I would say it is one of the easiest DIY's I have done..

CAB thankx...the 411 much appreciated!...kinda related, i guess, doesn't loweing with c/o's as i assume most ppl do, reduce the ride smoothness and quality? how much does it improve handling?....it is already A-okay in my books...
