Anyone need it done? I found a used Eastwood roller for sale that I may just buy vs. renting. If anyone needed it done it would help me justify the purchase. Otherwise I'll probably just sell it when I'm done.
 
I am interested. Let me know when you get it. I would suggest renting it out yourself after you have used it. Why sell it when you can rent it, recoup your money, and still keep the fender roller. I probably know some folks who would like to use it.
 
I need mine rolled back some more, I did all I could with a rubber mallet and I still seem to be rubbing somewhere.
 
Well it looks like I'm going to buy it so I'll let you guys know. I'll try to make it to the next CEG meet or I'll start my own. I'm going to be out of town/out of the country a few times in May and June so it could be a while, but you guys are more than welcome to it if you need it.

With the Enkei's? That's weird, what suspension are you on? I never had any rubbing issues with my Koni set up (springs and shocks). Frankly I don't even remember what the tire size or rim offset was, but it never rubbed.
 
I put some wider tires on the Enkei's, 225 IIRC (215 was original.) Thats when the problem became apparent. Its on stock suspension, but the 15 years on them lower the ride a bit too much in the back with my subs. I need to do a suspension overhaul, but my funds are limited atm.
 
I dont even need my fenders rolled right now. This is just too good to pass up. Ive been thinking about renting a roller for awhile.
 
General Exclaims UHP, they are surprisingly good for being such a cheap tire. My only complaint is the road noise.

dammit! I just got new rims with 225/45/17 general exclaim UHP's on them.....they look really meaty, I was hoping they werent going to rub :(
 
Malcolm, my size is just a bit different. I'm running 225/45/18. Since yours is 17", you should be fine, just like Brent's. They do look nice and meaty though! But if you haven't rolled your fenders at all, you may want to. I had a nice blade on the inside of my fender before I rolled them, SVTs may be different.
