    Fender Pull Possibilities

    So, how EXTREME can I go with a fender puller?

    I have one and was wondering what people are able to fit.

    I'm going to try and fit a 16x9 ET0 with a 225/50/16

    Roller, I assume you mean? I pulled mine out over an inch. I should have taken before and after pics. I did the rear too, trying to fix a small dent right on the lip.

      I also am curious about this as I am going to be running the same wheel, could you post some pics of your fenders StereoInstaller1? what size of wheel are you running also?

        No way is that tire going to work on a lowered e30 with that size wheel.
        You can run 215/40/16 or 215/45/16's, 225/45/16's is even pushing it, you'll end up catching a tire on your fenders, not good.

        You'll need to roll your fender lips flat, that's all.

          Why such a huge tire? I'm pretty sure thats oversized for an e30.

            I have 225/50/15's...my fenders hate them. I do have a date with a roller tho.

            Every day I wake up we drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN
            Every day I wake up to a bowl of clover honey and let the locusts fly in.
            Lobsterbacks attack the town again
            Wrap all my things in aluminum
            Beams of darkness streak across the sky
            Pink rays from the ancient satellite
            Every time I look out my window same three dogs looking back at me.
            Every time I open my windows cranes fly in to terrorize me.

              To those who asked, I am running 215/40/17 on B+G springs, fairly low. My fenders were replaced due to pulls...the first poster thinking 225/50? NO chance man. Sorry.

                I've got 235/40/17s on a 7.5 inch wheel with +20mm offset. I rolled the fenders last year and don't rub at all. In fact I could still get atleast another inch of tire under there.

                A friend of mine rents the fender rolling tool if you are interested.

                  I own a fender rolling tool. Somebody is borrowing it at the moment though.

                  We'll see if I can make this happen. I figured the tire size would be a problem but I CAN'T run a 215 it's just wayyyyyyyy too skinny for where im going. Even a 225 is too skinny....

                    225/50/16 would be taller than stock. Try a 245/35/16 if you want the "Man-sized" look. 225/45/16 would look okay as well.
