SM94-4051   Good Quality Fender Reforming Tool

Professional-grade fender former tool helps you easily increase the clearance between your tire and the fender, flare the fenders, or repair wheel-arch collision damage.

Making room for wider tires

First use the Roller to easily and quickly “roll” the entire inner lip on a wheel opening to increase fender/tire clearance. Then use the Fender Finisher™ for the final touch, creating a crisp, smooth edge, with the lip pressed fully up against the body for the ideal fender clearance.  

Fender Rolling Instruction

It's not hard to roll the fender. If you can install bolt on exhaust, intake, or other simple bolt on parts then you should be able to DIY fender rolling.

Please take your time doing it perfectly. Three things advise fender rolling Noobs: Patience, Heat Gun, and work section by section.

Ask a buddy (It's easier when someone is holding the heat gun) to heat the paint while you apply pressure to the fender lip to be rolled.

1. Attach the Fender Roller to the wheel hub and tighten with your OEM lug nuts and the provided washers. 

Please do not over tighten the bolts. You will bent the tool. Snug tight is enough.

2. Adjust length of the arm so the inner fender lip is in the middle of the Fender Roller wheel.

3. Adjust the tilt angle of Fender Roller wheel to meet inner fender lip.

4. Adjust Fender Roller and lightly apply pressure onto inner fender lip using the pressure handle.

5. Heat the paint especially the area of contact between the roller and inner lip and the area where it will bent once you apply the pressure. Probably as hot as when you touch your car's paint under the sun when it's 104 degree out there.

Just make sure you don't boil or melt the paint. This is the most important step to prevent the paint from cracking because heated paint flexes easier.

6. Manually swing fender roller left and right section by section several times against inner fender lip. Readjust roller pressure as needed. Do not swing the whole arc of 180 degrees. Do it section by section. Roll slightly maybe about 4-5 inch section then move on to next section. Then after all sections have been slightly rolled, then come back to the first section then redo it again until you are satisfied. You will need to readjust the tool every time.

7. Please be conservative. Do not roll the whole fender lip to gain the maximum clearance. Automotive paint will crack if you bend it too much. Please use common sense, even you heat the paint, leave some curve on the fender lip so that the paint does not crack. Older car with older paint has more tendency to crack versus new car or fresh new paint. There is always a risk of paint cracking but it can be minimized.

8. Take your car for a test drive with full load or try to take turns or long sweeper rather aggressively (In a safe environment - Not on public road!!!) to check whether fender rolling has fixed your rubbing issue.
