Dafunk13 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Looking to finally replace tired shocks/struts and want to shrink the wheel gap with some Tein springs while its apart. I know my rears will rub a bit when I do. Any of you fine folks recommend a place to roll them a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versluis Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 From my past experience, do it with the tool that you can pick up and make sure you heat it up enough so you dont crack the paint. Take your time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Main thing is heating the paint up so it doesn't crack. I used 1 1/2" PVC with a rag to do my G8. What offset are your rears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstmg8 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Btw, I believe wheel medic has one, but most shops don't like doing it because of the paint risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running SS wheels, so 40mm. Is it really that easy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrntd Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 Heat and patience. I've done it on a few cars. Cold and fast and you'll crack the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
