Wes Stone Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Does anyone have one of these I could borrow or rent or know where I can rent one? Probably going to have to roll the fender lips on the Cutty. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 http://m.baseballrampage.com/p/productphotos/1668_display.jpg Seriously though, I used the Eastwood roller and it really does a great job. The person I borrowed it from no longer has it, so can't help there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 We have the ability to do both front and rear fender rolling now (although that may not help you if you are trying to DIY) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 throw some Ds on that bitch Cutlass, fender-rolled = Weld Dragstars, 15x10s in the rear. "Cutty" fender-rolled = 26", candy paint drippin' off da frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Stone Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I don't see many ppl running 15x10's unless they have the frame notched and lips rolled. I've been searching this shit out of this on gbody forums and they all make it sound like this is going to be super close as it is. They all say max tire size is 275/60 on 15x8's without much work. BTW this is a cutlass not a cutty. There is no candy paint or 20's trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 They all say max tire size is 275/60 on 15x8's without much work. :no: I'm second guessing running 255s on a 8.5 this year. I can't even imagine the amount of sidewall bubble and flex that will happen with 275s on an 8.0 wheel. Good thing you're only planning on going straight.

Wes Stone Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Its a little rough. Has a full Dick Miller Racing suspension in the rear so it does not move at all. Front is on stock springs for now so it still floats at high speeds and honestly is scary as hell! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Stone Posted April 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Its extremely common on the gbody boards. 8" is the min recommended for the ET Street Radials. I want as much grip as possible and I've heard that a big tire on a smaller rim will make it cup and might not grip as much. The car is only driven on the weekends and maybe only 1 or 2 weekends a month. Will see some track days but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For drag use it's fairly common though not ideal. When your tread width is over the rim width by that much you have to walk a fine line with tire pressures to get an even contact patch. The old timey drag racer trick for that is to do short burnouts and adjust tire pressure based on how the marks look. Once you get it to be consistent the entire width of the tread you're there.

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 My new business plan: 1. Buy Eastwood fender roller 2. Rent it out 3. ????? 4. Profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2k2gt Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I will require a $200 deposit and return $180 when it is returned. Not trying to really profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice of you to loan out something like that, even for a fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
