Rolling the fenders

Spec V = .5 too much displacement :-)

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

hahah. well, although i've only met "JGY" only once, he seems like a crazy focker in a good way(hahah is dat even possible). he certainly does have resources/backgrounds to back up his claims.

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 .

lol man all u guys have the "good old boy method" - i wanted the legit way w/ the tool and heating the paint and so on. I'm not looking to fuck up the paint on the 540.
i can rent those tools - i just want to find a place that knows how to do this.
