Pulling the front fenders will look like ass. I suggest getting 20mm wide fenders for the fronts. The rears you'll be fine on stock fenders with an 18mm pull. Thats not even an inch, so no worries. Just remember to take your time.

Also, heat the paint up a little bit so it doesn't crack.

wut size rims are you trying to run on your S13s? Pulling the fronts are a pain just cuz its single-ply. The rears will roll clean but fronts can be tempermental. Im running 17x10 +12 all around with 8mm spacers up front to clear coilovers. All stock fenders...

17x10 +25 rear and 17x9 +15 in front............i paint cars/do bodywork and im hoping i can pull the fronts clean enough to smooth out with filler..... i hate overfenders in the front and pulled in the back.

17x9 + 15....you dont need to pull the fronts to fit those. Unless you plan on some stupid huge tire. Run some negative camber, roll the inner lip and call it a day.

tires are 235/45........how much camber will it take to fit those?

17x9 +15 with 235/45 is a little tall, 235/40 would be much better choice in the front.
And with that setup, you can get away with it with probably like 2.5 degrees of neg camber.
Rears you should be able to do with a roll and some camber, although you can most certainly pull it a little bit if you wanna run a bigger tire.
However, I disagree with the wide front fender/pulled rear opinion, as I've seen some cars that have the 20mm wide front fenders and pulled stock rear fenders and they look hot.

yes, 235/45 is too tall. Run 235/40
+ 1 everything SoSideways just said. :bow:

well i got 18x9+20 and 19x10 +25 and i got rolled front and rear fenders with a slight pull in the rear...... all of it was done with a hammer and a crow bar and the paint and body is ripple free! just take your time.

One quick question can you still get a clean pull even though the rear fender-quarter pannel was bondo'ed in the past? I will be running 17'sX9's +17 to 9.5's in the near future all around.

depending on where it is, how thick it is, and how much of a pull your doing it may or may not crack...........if it does your gonna have to have it all grinded out and redone. i have a little filler in one of my quarters to.
