Didn't even know that was a thing. Can't imagine how strange that would look.

If you go on Craigslist or Offer up apparently there are a lot of guys out there, at least in the Los Angeles area that do this all the time, the issue with our cars is the inner fender wells need to be trimmed in order to do this as my car sits too low in the front with the tires i have.
If not for that they charge about $50.00 per fender
I will take some pictures and document if anyone is interested. according to the guy doing it, it will not really be even noticeable, but we shall see!
I have some badly rusted fenders as the car is from Oregon originally. I have an Excellent complete front clip of fenders, doors, headlight- Bumper Assembly Lower valence etc. from a donor car that are perfect. I bought off a guy who did a fiberglass front end, only missing inner fender wells
They came today and pulled the fenders off in about an hour. Turns out my inner fender wells are in excellent shape! Downside, i had a set I bought years ago new that I do not need now!
Tomorrow they are cutting the inner wells slightly so that i can finally try out my new wheels!!!
Next week, Doors if this works out!

Has anyone had their Fenders Rolled for tire clearance ? If so how did it go and how did it look afterwards? Thx!
If you are talking about the fender lip where the molding attachs to, it is very common on the rear fenders. Some cut the lip in several places then bend it up, I don't like that because it leaves sharp edges for the tire to possibly rub on and cut the tire. When I did mine, I used a baseball bat and rolled it in between the tire and fender. But I went even went further and used a bottle jack and pushed my rear fenders out more. They also make a tool to roll the lip, it attaches to the brake drum in place of the tire and wheel, and it has an arm with a small wheel on the end that rolls the lip, not sure if it works good or not Not sure if you can tell from these pics how mine turned out, I like it but it's my car, lol.
I will know more how it’s done tomorrow It appears my front end is at least 2” lower than a stock with a 350
Your pics don't show up. My front is about 2" lower also, I cut one coil off my spring which comes out to about 2". I am running 14X7 in the front and 15X8 in the rear. I think I asked before but don't remember, where in SoCal are you?
Same goes for you too if you are ever up this way. I have the 69 assembly manual, let me know if you need anythig scaned from it. That is where I got the rear spoiler mounting from
