Yes, you will need to roll the fenders. How much depends on suspension and tire size. Ive got 16x7.5 et20 going on with 225's and they will need to be rolled. My calculations put your wheels .25" out further than mine.
The tool that will be there is this...


Im either going to buy it or rent it.
If you have alot of bondo or filler on your fenders its not a good idea to roll them.
Other than that its pretty straight forward. I will have done my fenders by the time we do this so I will be there to help. My friend is a body guy and he will be there also.

VT. that pic looks like the on that you can buy from The Eastwood Comapny??? If I recall its a bit under $200 from them... When are YOU doing yours??

Funny you should mention that. The guy that bought my Alpina just drove up from PA yesterday. He came up with his father who works for the Eastwood Co. and said he could get me a discount. Their website has them listed on sale for $250 so hopefully I could get it for at least $200.
Im going to roll mine during the week before April 15-16 so people dont have to wait for me to do mine that weekend.

Besides, giving more space to your wheel well, does it give the appearence of flared fenders at all or not?

Not really. Remember, its not pulling the fenders. It just rolls the inner lip enough to tuck a bit under load.
Here is a diagram..

Holy shit - just noticed where you are. Is the M with you? I need to make a trip to Franklin.

Change my vote to rolling - cabby has new shoes coming (16x7.5 et 25, 205/50's) - and it's slammed on H&R race - better safe than sorry.

im in like 80%. I gotta be up in NH for a courtdate on the 13th so maybe i'll just make a weekend out of it and come chill.

Sounds good guys.
Just to clarify so no one is expecting one. I have no lift. This will be using jacks and stands.
