Fender Rolling/Shaving

**$w!ft** · 09-07-2013, 08:29 PM

About to order some aggressive rims which might require some fender rolling/shaving to be done. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Who do you recommend? I am in London.

IIRC, CSL's came with rolled arches as standard.

Arch Enemy are one of the better ones. Brave man for doing this on a CSL. I wouldn't be doing anything other than rolling them (no shaving bits off) if it were me, unless they're already rolled like said of course.

Thanks will check them out. I will have to see whats required but 18x9 front and 18x10.5 rear with +20 offset wont be easy.

Maybe if not shaving then some fender pulling?

I've not got a CSL but the rear arches are rolled. I run a 19x10j rear on what I think is +20 offset so similar, no rubbing whatsoever

And on my track wheels I run a 18x9J front and the only rubbing is on my brake ducting. So it's not going to be as bad as you think

Thanks. Let me see what the arches look like and do some research. I would really like to avoid changing the suspension. Most people fitting this wheel on e46's have 18x10 front and 18x11.5 rear with +20 offset and 2 inch lip front 3.5 inch lip rear and stretched tyres. I'm trying to find a middle ground by reducing the size abit and make it fit on stock suspension with adequate tyre size.
