RE rolled front today but I've worked all 4 corners of this thing. Clean rolls, crack free on the most difficult Subaru paint there is to work with.

08 STI (18/9 +35)
08 STI 18/9+35 fairly simple roll
www.apolloperformance1.com
- rubbing on the fine edge on the inner fenders.Like most cars thhese fenders have 2 layers but, The 08 sti has a really thin sharp flimsy piece of metal above the thicker fender. This little piece of metal sticks past the fender about 3mm but that's all it needs to shred into those sweet new tires (RE-11's) in this case
inner fender pulled down.

Sti over fender roll (how to/info)
well i wanted to show how I do the sti over fender rolling/pulling.
work was done at Apollo Performance
www.apolloperformance1.com
materials
towel
warm water
dry towel
fender roller
heat gun
painters tape
These setups take some work but they are doable, in most cases rivets get loose or adhesive gets loose due to the heat gun used
why use a heat gun?
- the over fenders are plastic and sensitive and there is still paint on the inside behind the fender it is important that you monitor your heat not to bubble, melt,or burn the plastic over fender. Heat will make the over fender flexible enough for the polyurethane wheel to ride along it without it cracking
what happens to the over fender?
-rolling the fenders on Sti equiped with over fenders will get the job done. it will give you the clearance needed to fit the bigger wheels. but in almost all cases the heat mixed with the pressure of the roller causes stress on the sdhesive and rivets and the over fenders are left loose.
Are there any other ways of modifying sti's equiped with over fenders to fit bigger wheels?
- yes there are other ways of doing the modding to over fenders. heres a nice write up from the website

this method requres removal of the over fender, grinding/cutting of the inner lip, using a roller or hammer to pull the fender. adhesive to seal open area.
it seems like alot of work but his results are very good, and the fenders look great.
on to the roll
prepping the fender
clean on the inside and outside of the fender using warm water remove any surface dirt and wipe dry.
I use painters tape to give more suppor to the plastic fender
the inner/actual lip of the fender is very small, thus making it hard to work with.
you must roll the lip out , than bend it up than bend it in.
this is what the lip looks like un touched
rolled out
set up the roller where it is at an angle were you arent resting thoe roller wheel on the plastic over fender
rolled in / flat
once you have completed rolling the fender lip out you can now continue the roll as you would with a regular (typical) fender re adjust the roller to accomidate different parts of the fender and take your time
the pull
In this case thos left side of the fender was already loose prior to the roll?????
I recomend using the silicone adhesive same adhesive used in this right up.

300 zx
so today i fitted a 300zx lovely little Nissan wheel size 18x10 +18 tires ran 265 looked to be a simple fit
little tire munch nothing to be worried about, he did the right thing and got it taken care of.
good job pal.
a gave him a slight pull and all seemed to fit well lowered on coil overs so I had to use my Parts by max/eastwood comb0 worked like a charm as it always does.
Fitting done at Apollo Performance.

un-touched lip
clean coilover setup with helper spring
slight pull full flat inner lip did the job and left plenty o room to spare.

Sleepy wagon
now this wagon took some work mainly do to the limited camber and tire size but it took some work to make it fit
rears had a pretty good pull very minor flare.
a flare similar that you would find on 240sx's
the front had to take a pretty good roll, they are pancake flat and flared out
the cons of this is that the front fender metal is so this and sensetive bending and flexing accures and can damage paint is too much force is applied when th fender is not heated properly
Have to give credit to Danny of Apollo Performance, did some pretty major modifications to the rear end of the bumper were the bumper meets the fender.
took us a few tries to get it right but at the end of the day he drove off a happy camper with a good looking wagon.

didn't need much work to make it fit just a good flat roll
the fronts needed to be pulled to be able to turn full lock due to how low it sits
nice car overall very clean
cool owner

The Jordan's WRX (white on white)
the front got the "hips" treatment, slight roll at a 45 degree angle just to clear the wheels at full lock when it comes to hard cornering.
rears got the basic roll
thanks jordan for pics.
