: Tried to fit my 635's 16 inch x 7 BWA wheels w/ 225 D40M2s on the 5 - the rears would not clear the fender. How can I bend the fender lips to try & clear the wheels? I think someone had told me once about using a baseball bat to roll the lips, but I can't figure out how to get the leverage to do the bending.
: Thanks in advance. Samir.
I tried this with my 2002 once. You stick a bat between tire and fender lip and push. You could also try snipping the fender lip with a pair of steel cutting scissors.
