Need help finding shop that does professional fender rolls/pulls for s14...san diego

[topsecretgold]

Running 18X9.5 +12offset fn01r-c and need help finding a pro place that will do a great roll or pull job if needed (somewhere within 100 miles of SD). I stretched 235/40/18 falkens over all 4 and was told that it would clear w/ just a roll...but also concerned with rubbing on the front springs/other ereas on inside of wheel.

If anyone knows anyplace that could do whatever is necessary to make these wheels work, please let me know. Anyone who is familiar with s14 chassis and what i will need to do to make these fit properly please help out.

Also will i need spacers to clear on the inside of front suspension??

thank you!!

check out www.speedalliance.com and talk to Warren G. He helped me alot and even sent me the roller to use. Hes a real good friend.

Im running 18x9.5 +20 all round. 235/40/18 up front and it clears, but very close to suspension. With +12 up front you should be fine.

try group 5 or AEBS.

Are there any safety issues with stretched tires on a daily freeway/highway driver?

Is there more of a chance of tire blowing or flat? If it were to blow or flat, would the rim end up contacting the ground and ruining it?

I have what looks like a minor bubble-like spot on the sidewall of one of the falkens (ziex 512). Is this normal or is it a weak spot?

Thanks so much for help...much appreciated.

afaik that is bad

However, if protruding bulges, as shown in Fig. A (photo provided by a customer), rather than indentations appear on the sidewall of a recently installed tire, it reveals that there is an undesirable gap between some of the body ply cords inside the tire. The tire should be removed from service and replaced under the tire manufacturer’s defects in materials and workmanship warranty.

If a protruding bulge doesn’t appear until later in the tire’s life, it was usually caused by a road hazard when the cord was injured as the tire struck a pothole, curb or object in the road.

i have a set of wheels that developed sidewall bubbles. got worse over time. i took them off my car asap. i think the official name is 'impact break.'

Loaned out my camera so cant get any pics at the moment.

fuck Group 5 or AEBS, go to Speed Alliance. Warren is pro at rolling fenders. Tell him Scooter sent you.

I found out that the "tire bubble" was either a defect or more than likely bad mount by the shop that put them on for me. I will try to see if they honor their damage policy. I like the 18X9.5 +12 on the rear...but they seem to stick out too much for the front...i was thinking about running 17X9 +15 on the front for an aggressive downward slant look. The headache continues...

If anyone is selling 2 17X9 +15 in silver or bronze i will buy or trade...

I will be selling 2 18X9.5 +12 silver-- brand new if anyone interested

whats wrong with group 5 or AEBS? lol. i've never taken my car there before but i have heard that they do fender rolling. bad experience? :rawk:

[topsecretgold]

i went to group 5 for the roll...
they do mercedes and bmw rolls all the time, i was very satisfied with the roll job...$75/hr. but was worth it for great job, and btw my car has an expensive re-paint so i had them do the slow heat-tap method instead of the powerful roll tool so the paint wouldnt crack.

Just go to sandiegos14fenderrolls.com. They might be able to sort you out.
Just kidding.. yeah, call warren at speed alliance he'll hook you up. But i dont know, if you want a professional body shop, then just do it yourself then have some shop bondo and paint it for you. You can either spend $40 or $400 doing this, it's really you get what you pay for..

see, glad to hear it worked our for you at group 5. i never been there myself. but since they did a good job on yours. i guess i'll go there for mine too. what wheels did you end up putting on your car? got any pics of the finished product? :rawk:
