Default Rolling the fenders

well if u put a jack under the car then u can't move the car so u can roll the fender well, u need to be able to move the car. Just trying to move the tire/wheel with a bat (or rolling pin, I've heard of using that as well) in the wheel well won't do much.

hey now! I happen to like my .5 extra displacement! Thank you very much! Torque baby

I just use my other hand to turn the tire/wheel, this is much more presise, then relying on someone else to drive the car and possibly go too far


just teasing you about your huge motor

p.s. give me 2 weeks and I'll race you in my 1.6L VVL sentra and beat you

Get some balls and use a maglight !! Just wrap the bastard in some tape , jack up the car so the tires are in the air , with a 2nd jack -jack up the suspension to the preferred height , place the rolling object of your choice in the gap and gently roll the wheel by hand . You should end up with a nicely rolled lip . I have to do mine when it get's outta the shop and was told by a few euro peeps ( who are always doing this shit to clear deep dish wheels ) to use a maglight due to its uniform size ( as opposed to a baseball bat ) and because it is metal , it will retain its shape throughout the process on all wheels . Just be sure to tape it up with some duct-tape to prevent scratching .
