Fender rolling?
Anyone know of someone to roll fenders, preferably around Bellevue? I have my stance coils in the garage waiting to be put on. Also, how low do you think I could go on 18x8.5 +38 offset on 245/40/18 tires?

I have stance coils on 18x8.5+45 with 235/40 tires and I didn't have to roll my fenders. My car is pretty low. But I don't recall how low I lowered it.

I own an Eastwood fender roller. Never done it for an 86 before but you can rent it from me and do it yourself.

I should also clarify I don't charge for it just need a deposit so I know I'll get it back. Or I can walk you through it I guess if there's a sunny weekend coming up sometime. Fender rolling is so easy no one should ever pay people to do it for them.

Looking in the wheel directory below it looks like you should fit.
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7535 Ride height is hit or miss and you should plan to be playing with it a bit to get it where you like and what matches the type of driving you plan to do. This thread is also interesting: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25177 |

I don't think you'll need to roll your fenders with that setup. I'm running 18x9.5 +35 with 235/40 lowered about 1.8-2 inches and it rubs on the plastic tab in the rear only under really heavy compression. Even then, the rubbing has mostly disappeared since it's worn itself down.
As for how low you could probably go, you can probably go until your tires hit the inner fender well. Just keep in mind that the spring rate for the stance coilovers is somewhat soft at 6k f/r. And also keep in mind that you'll likely need rear lcas if you're planning on going max low as the camber wear in the rear will get real bad, real quick. |

What rate should I use? I want a nice ride that is close to stock. I'm not going mad low. Just like 1.5-2 inches

So since they are coils and not springs, you don't change it?

Your spring rate isn't something that you can change, it's the amount of weight it takes for the spring to compress. You can buy different springs and put them on your coils, though.

to your original questions, you shouldn't need to roll your fenders with your current wheels.

i'd strongly suggest you do some research so you can get the best setup for your needs. however i know you're more about the stance and look than you are performance so i say slam the shit out of it and just accept that the ride won't be that great. if you're still looking to learn, here's some good places to start. start here http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9936 search this thread, if you don't find an answer ask. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45554 and lastly look this one over http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26661 good luck
