Hi Everyone,
I recently bought some 18" wheels for my e36, 8"x18" front and 9"x18" rear. The front fitted and looked just great but the rear wheels scrubbed the arches (fenders) every time I took a corner too quickly or had some load in the car. I changed the rear shocks, but that made little difference, Sure the old ones were gone, but that didn't fix the problem. I will fit some stiffer rear springs at some point though.
So I bought a fender roller from the Tirerack in the US. Wow, what a bit of kit, it cost a small fortune getting it here, but it sorted out my fenders in 30 mins!
I have now rolled the inner of the arches and flared them about 2mm, you can't notice but what a difference when I drive it!!

Sorry the picture is a bit dark, it was late last night when I sorted my arches out.

So now I guess I have he only fender roller in Bahrain :)

Anyone need some flaring/rolling done ;)
