Does anyone have a fender lip roller that I might need to borrow soon? I remember Michael Lieberman had one here in Tulsa but does anyone else?
I'd need it for maybe a day and could get back to you pronto...
Thanks in advance.

I'm willing to attempt it to see if we can work somthing out.
I know 255/35 R18 is as wide as an E36 rear is supposed to be able to handle, but does anyone have any info about fitting a 265/35? Rear wheels is a 9.5x18 with a 40 offset. Any help appreciated...

I don't see why you couldn't fit wider than that even. i've seen some just browsing around fitting 285 on just rolled fenders.

i think it all depends on the tire you get. i know that one brand 265 tire that Kyle has is considerably more narrow than another brand 265 tire he has/had.

Much thanks o Brandonie, keeper of the roller. I could do the bat routine but was hoping if there was a roller available i'd at least attempt to do it the right way first.
I guess the fitment also depends on the offset. So take this and chew on it for a while, then let me know what you think......
Wheel = 18 x 9.5 w/ 40 offset
Tire = 265/35 R18
Tomorrow I'm going to remove the stocker bottle cap and take some measurments to see actually what will need to happen. I've searched and read and everyone has a different answer or comment. I'll post my findings and measurments so everyone can understand what is happening when you try to cram fat rubber under the back of an E36.
More tomorrow...

i have a 35mm offset with my 18x8.5s. i run a 235 series Fuzion tire and it is a tad stretched. just stretched enough so that my rear tires do not rub on the fenders. all four are rolled too.
