Question re: rolling fenders

HP Man · 02-12-2012, 05:51 PM

I read yet another thread where there was a suggestion that somebody roll their fenders in order to fit larger tires on their E90/E92 M3. Last time I checked, my fenders were plastic / composite and did not have the traditional flange that could be rolled.

Could somebody enlighten me to exactly how one would roll fenders on the E90/E92 M3?

To me it seems impossible, yet I keep reading references to it being made.

M3s fenders are rolled out the box !
Get the right offset that will allow you to run the size tire you want.

That's what I thought. What I don't understand is all the people on this board recommending that someone get their fenders rolled...

Well,M3s are rolled as i mentioned before but i dont think other models are. what size tires are you looking to run ?

HP Man · 02-12-2012, 06:12 PM

I'm not looking to run anything larger (I run 275/30s up front and 295/30s in back and they work well). I was just puzzled with all these people recommending to M3 owners to get fenders folled.

There's nothing to roll. The fronts would be impossible even if they had a fender lip since they are composite. There isn't a fender lip in the rear to roll.

True about the fronts.

Rears can be pulled - IND actually will do this and you can probably fit 335's.

Stock rears can fit 305's with the right offset.

^ That's what they did with Martins car iirc

Saw this over on the MAC page though...

Pulling the rear fenders out is totally different than rolling them.
