well my drivers side fender touches my tire a tiny bit, got a couple little lines but nothing major yet... I want to fix it before it messes up the tire bad. Anyone have experience rolling fenders? I dont need a full roll just a bit to tuck it up a little so the tire will clear~ and apparently only one side does it. Anyone have knowledge of how to do it, do it right, and keep my paint safe :) (if you wish to do it with a baseball bat please dont reply lol) 2003 REDFIRE COBRA #3938 of 5082 @ 05/27/2003 1 of 414Modification List, High Res Pictures, Dyno Sheet440rwhp/483rwtq 10.9 A/F 12-15psi (new leaner numbers to come!)

I think one of our members Tommy Hayes can do that. I think he may even have a special tool for that. I may have seen it on his website or from one of his posts on one of the local muscle car forums. I think his website is at http://www.illwillinc.com/
I have heard also that he does a really good job with powdercoat painting.  2008 GT500 Coupe Red with White Stripes Ordered 11/13/07 Born 12/14/07 Picked up at dealer 1/9/08 TVS Ford Racing Upgraded Stage 2 Polished Supercharger with 2.6" pulley - Evolution Stage 2 TVS Tune, JLT Carbon Fiber Radiator and Fuse Box covers, JLT Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake, AFCO Heat Exchanger Upgrade, Borla Stinger Mufflers, J&M Billet Lower Control Arms, J&M Adjustible Upper Control Arm, J&M Adjustible Panhard Bar, EVO Aluminum 1-piece Dynotech Driveshaft, BMR Driveshaft Safety Loop, FRPP Lowering Springs, Sequential Tail Lights, Shorty Billet Antenna.

I took the rear tire off tonight and it BARLY touches its amazing really. I know the passenger side is fine so I am thinking about putting a little more negative camber on the rear and see if that fixes me... it funny how close it is to clearing lol.... there are actually little tiny raised parts that stick out a little more into the fender that its touching lol... by like a 10th of a 10th of an inch... 2003 REDFIRE COBRA #3938 of 5082 @ 05/27/2003 1 of 414Modification List, High Res Pictures, Dyno Sheet440rwhp/483rwtq 10.9 A/F 12-15psi (new leaner numbers to come!)

Unless your tire already sticks out past the edge of the fender, just use some 1/8" wheel spacers on the back. They're temporary and wont require someone beating on your fenderwell to force a tire/wheel combo in there. They should not make any visible difference to someone standing outside the car, but they'll make a significant difference to that fenderwell. If you have the space without sticking out past the fender, go 1/4" to be safe. Here's a set of 1/4" spacers from American Muscle. They're cheap, no tax, ship free, and easy as can be to install. Noone will ever know they are back there either.

My issue is the wheel is out to far already so a spacer would make it worse sadly :( On the IRS cars there is an eccentric bolt on the spindle to adjust camber. I moved it to pull the top of the tire inward a bit to clear the fender lip as it was just BARLEY touching so hopefully this will solve the issues as the other side is fine. 2003 REDFIRE COBRA #3938 of 5082 @ 05/27/2003 1 of 414Modification List, High Res Pictures, Dyno Sheet440rwhp/483rwtq 10.9 A/F 12-15psi (new leaner numbers to come!)
