Who's has rolled there fenders on their cobalt? Can someone show me some pictures. I'm looking to get some es2's and I have been talking to Tim at Varrstoen and he said people make 225's fit with coils only if the fenders are rolled.. I don't think I'm about that lol

 

Thats my exact set up rolled fenders, es2, 235 in the front, 225 in the rear, and pedder xa coilovers. They pics on this site somewhere on the Varrstoen thread search it.

 

1LSJ2NV's car might be a good one to look at.

 

cobe where u been?

18x9.5 235/40

 

Looks so mean man. What kinda coils are you running?? I've been busy working lol I got this job working a CNC Mill

 

keep those hands busy hahaha

im on ksport coils

 

a rolled fender is a rolled fender, looks the same unless you jam your head in the wheel well.

just make sure to use a heat gun while rolling or you will crank the hell out of your paint. not much to roll on cobalt tho, its pretty mich already folded up aside from the front of the rear fender.

 

10 days of 1" spacers in the rear rolled my fenders......(needless to say they were removed) but literally i wouldnt need a roller in the back now.

 

wait i thought you sold your cobalt?

 

How did your tires not get shredded?

 

exactly. you just extend it at 10 and 2 oclock. more than that, its very expensive to do the rear due to the diagonal cut for the rear bumper. stretching metal is labor intensive and required repaint.

here is a stock offset wheel on a stretched and rolled Cobalt.:

and here is the same car with 19 x 9 wheels and tires




two thousand dollars including paint front and rear.

 

So looks like I'm gonna be forced to have 215/40s or go to the 17/9 . Greaaaaat haha

 

17x9 dooo it

 

I have 17x9 with 215/40. Its ***** ****, go bigger

 

cant tell a difference.. what does rolling a fender do?

 

Exactly. Jboogie (old member) had 17x9s and ran 265s on them

 

Bigger wheels too

 

more room for aggressive sized wheels

give ya some space to make stuff happen

 

 

at one time, a long time ago, in a distance galaxy called california, i was on 18x9.5 +25 235/40 in the rear (with coils with no perch or bumpstop in the rear) and i was fine. you can roll your fenders with a bat or get a roller, just heat up the quarters as much as you can and don't roll too hard or you will buckle the whole quarter panel.

 

that was a good story papa dom

tell it again, the best part is the end result

 

That was a good story. I remember it like it was yesterday

 

Please look again. first example stock offset 17 x 7.5 inch wheels. second example same car with 19 x 9 wheels. SMH

But then again, its a compliment. The mandate was for the body shop to make it 100% stock appearing.

excellent work.

2,500 dollars.

 

lol then my car went kablooey. its coming back alive slowly.... muahahaa

 

18 x 9.5 on 245/40/18. no need to roll fenders. Its plastic. Redline for the win.
