Hey to all, Has anyone ever rolled the lip of the fender to clear wide tires. I wanted to use a nice set of 15 inch GB Laguna`s 5.5 wide (looks like Mini Lites) with new 195 65 BF Goodrich tires that I had for a 140. I used a one inch adapter changing the bolt pattern also to clear the upper wishbone on the front suspension. The tires fit and look great other than slightly close to the fender lip. I`m wondering if the fender roller that you mount on the hub with lug nuts will be strong enough to bend the heavy gauge steel these fenders are made of? The lip only needs to come out no more than a 1/4 inch. Not a problem if the paint were to crack because she`s headed for paint when the bugs get sorted out. Thanks for any help! Larry
