Rear Fender Rolling Completed

[DLF]

I recently installed some new Firestone 275/40-17 tires on 17x9 rims with a 36mm offset on the rear of my '98 LSC. I ran into some clearance issues, so I bought a new toy.

I released the air in the rear bags, disconnected the sway bar and jacked up the wheel/tire to see where the problem was. Took about an hour to do each side, with the liberal use of a heat gun to minimize the paint cracking.

No more problem!

Looks good, but I'd think your still going to rub where the fender meets the bumper cover...

Maybe, but that's just plastic, it'll rub away,

Is this the new "HellaFlush" trend?? JK! Looks great

Yes, right to the screws and metal fender (I had to do this to mine too.)
Cool tool that Easwood makes. The roller will fold that in a little bit too, the heat gun the plastic, perhaps enough to clear. Mine only rubs very slightly now on hitting a big bump at highway speeds (speed lowered). and sometimes pulling into entrances with a short steep hill...
