<![CDATA[Flaring fenders]]>Okay, now that I have the 15x8 wheels on my car, it can't handle the drop and offset. The front fenders scrape on the rubber when I hit bumps and I'd like that to stop. I really don't want to add spring spacers because I like where it sits now.

I've seen pictures of people using that roller thing, but nothing that resembles a serious "flaring" of the fender. I basically need it to come up and out.

What's the best way to do this? Who or where could it be done?

it sounds like what he needs is more extensive than that.

sounds to me like you're going to need a body shop or something with bodywork experience - and I'm not even sure you'll get the fender out far enough with the metal that's there.

The baseball bat option wasn't supposed to be funny. It's the "proper" way to do it if you are doing it in your garage.

Thats good advise it is possible to do on your own but trust me the results are never what you want. Talk to andre down at intense collision i think they do a lot of custom work as he has a 55 GMC pick up and my drivers are always talking about some sweet old muscle cars he has in the shop. I tried the baseball bat thing on a 88 TC drift car and it was a mess cost my boss about $3000 to get it looking right again.

Rinse and repeat for desired effect all around and or severe damage.

They both have previous damage and have been bondo'ed to some degree and been resprayed. I really wouldn't care if I had to respray both fenders with a couple coats of rattle can white.
