Default Fender Rolling

Just wondering who has done it, how much of a pain it was, what you used, and how happy you were with the results.

Eastwood fender roller. With a little patience, and a heat gun, I'm clearing 235/40/18's on reproduction Nebulas on my 850. We rolled the rears only, but I'll have to go back and hit the front fenders, the "new" tires do rub on hard bumps.

I used the same tool as ^^^^. I rubbed and had to attack the fronts again. I've got 25mm spacers, njords with 235 45 r17's off a 2013 s60 on my 1996 850.

Thanks John. As long as your key fob works, it's as easy as finding a white x70, and swapping handles over.

I didn't have much time before work, and didn't make any time after to take better shots. I can try again this weekend, if you want to pm specific angles you'd like to see. Here's one, though.
