The right way is to use a fender roller..

TireRack.com offers a rental for these rollers for about $40 or the price of shipping.<br> <br> You basically heat up the paint using a heat gun then attach the fender roller into the hub and roll across the arc. <br> <br> Very easy to do.<br> <br> The cheap way and wrong way is to use a baseball bat or the like and insert it between the tire and fender and roll. Although very feasible, you can damage your fender and misalign the wheels.

BTW, if you rent it from Tirerack, it will come with a video and heat gun.

Not every one cares about the speed. Looks are more important to some. Its a tradeoff....

a little slower for much better looks.

I like my car to look good..It's not about speed. I can't speed anyway where I live, Plus I have 3 speeding tickets within the last year after having it suspended since 94 - 00. <br>

What i'm saying is that, what make the wheel look wide is by fill up the fender..right? You.........

<br> can still do that with only 8.5 in. wide. Just order the wheel with the right offset.

But why not put a bigger wheel/tire when you can? You get more rim lip in the rear if you do.

That looks better than 8.5' rims in the rear. Besides, when looking at the rear, the wide tire looks nice.
