I'm wondering if it's the shot/angle of the car but the car doesn't look low but why does the lip look so low? Lol.

Any suggestions guys? I want to catch traction in 1st & 2nd and am not able to with 235/45's at the moment.

17's with a little rake will slam your lip

what's your camber at? that'll kill your straight line traction

1st gear is usless with stock gear ratio and ~300whp

255/40 should give you a little more traction in 2nd,

i still had no traction till mid way tru 3rd but i was close to 400whp running 255/40

I can do a pull like that on a s14 in ~2-2.5 hours. Usually takes me about 2 hours to roll all four fenders on any car....although sometimes I run into issues like I did tonight on a Audi S4 and it took 2 hours to do two fenders

.

I would like to add, I'm not bashing the pull on that car at all, it looks very well done.

Lukasss · 05-12-2011, 12:36 AM

I didnt mean that in a condescending demeanor btw.
Haha, my fenders were a pain in the ass on my old A4.

PM'ed.

az_240 · 05-12-2011, 12:43 AM

Damn 2 hours? The metal back there is thiick. Took me about 5-6 hours to get this on both sides

Sold the crappy fitting wheels

S14kouki_10 · 05-12-2011, 12:47 AM

I need to roll my fenders.

I assume that's post body work? That's ridiculously smooth if it isn't!

I did this car, rolled fenders up front and pulled out back in about 3 hours:

The little dimple you see up top is from a slight imperfection that fender had. I think a shopping cart must have barely nicked it or something. He also had square tires, so I had to pull it more then I wanted to so it would tuck up and not hit. He said he wasn't interested in credit card fitment, lol.

I use to roll fenders for a living on the daily basis. not even trying to boast but Ive done hundreds of cars...literally. I'm borderline OCD when it comes to pulling fenders. I've done pulls within an hour.5 easy on several rattle canned s13s trying to fit sportmaxs, but on my car espcially, hell no.

btw, my wheel specs were 18x10-1 / 18x11-1 on stock metal. I wanted it to fit perfectly so over and over again i would raise the car/ drop the car,adjust alignment, and pull some more. so yeah...7 hours...suck it.
