Request: Fender measurements

[Jon K]

Hey guys - rolled the hell out of my fenders today (rears) with my new harbor freight fender roller. It went very well, but I forgot to measure before rolling to see how much I improved. I definitely have more room, but I was hoping to find out how much more.

I measured from the shock tube outter edge (closest to the fender) to the inner lip of the un-rolled fender and got just below 11.0" I think. Then I rolled the fenders and I am over like 11.65" of clearance. I think.

It sounds like a huge gain to me - I think I rolled the lip as well as pulled the fender some. I was hoping someone could measure theirs for me to confirm a stock, unrolled fender wheel well width. You can probably do it without jacking the car on a stock suspension car.

Thanks guys!

do you have a link for the fender roller?

Sorry its not Harbor Freight, its Eastwood. I confuse the two all the time.

Yah - I just bought the tool. I figure I'll have it, which is nice, but can loan it to friends and eventually recover my investment, if I desire.

275 mm from the shock body immediately below the spring to the inside flange of the wheel arch.thats 10.826 inches.I could just get my rule across the top of the tyre and stay below the spring .

I already fit 275/50/15's which is a 10.5w tire. I will probably eventually put a straight axle in it, but not yet.

EXCELLENT! That confirms what i measured and that I am not . When I measured after the fact, I saw over 11.5 - 11.6 inches and thought I was nuts when I measured < 11" before. 10.8" sounds exactly like what I had measured. Thanks so much!
