their is a special tool to do that... i guess it was OZ that mentioned it, no idea where is it available. also you can use a hammer and bang on the damn thing to bend it if you don't care how it looks.

The same problem with the bumper bolting to the body is why I gave up trying to roll the fender lip; that part of the metal is too thick for me to bend out of the way. I finally decided to get different wheels with the correct off-set so that the wheels did not hit the fender lip. My rear tires were getting cut every time I hit a big bump or dip in the road.

Now I have a nice set of wheels with only 4 months of use that I can no longer use. If they fit my father's Kia Sephia, they will probably be installed on it.

I still need new wheels! LOL The stock steel wheels with hubcaps are back on my car again.

so you got your stock steel wheels and tires in your garage and you knew i wanted to know how much theyweight??

(j/K)

come on OZ i need a little help here... can you at least weight the spare tire and give me the weight in Kgms please? i need to know the weight of the 14" rim with a 185/60/14 tire to see if it is much heavier than my stock 13" rim fitted with a 175/70/13 tire.

thanks for the help.

3 Inch drop? Do you not plan on driving it? I think that you would scrape stock tires with a 3 inch drop. Not to mention an aligment nightmare.

Lol, not trying to be rude, but 3 inch is a little drastic, that is twice what most companies sell springs for.

i just measured it and it should be sweet with rolled lips, the springs are pedders a very well known oz company and they wouldnt make em that low if it wouldnt work. ive got a non sport version which sits 1.5 inches above the sport standard so in reality will drop me down to where other springs would in a sport.

i had to roll the rear fenders of my hatch with the 205s on em
all i did was put a small bar on the tire and have a friend move the car forward and backwards then i took off the wheels banged it with a hammer then rolled and banged a few times.
looks pretty good since i have never done it before.
ill take some pics

when i first put bags on my car i hit the bumper bolts and cut the hell out of my tires.. so i took a bottle jack and a angle grinder.. grinded the part that was sticking out off and used the jack to bend it about 1/2 away from the tire..
