Another "Will these fit?": 18" Mustang wheels

Do you reckon that a lip-roll wouldn't have been able to provide the clearance needed, or did you just start with cutting because you could?

I'm trying to avoid cutting on my 67 383s, so I'm hoping i can add some clearance with the ol' baseball bat lip-roll. At least that could be straightened out with a hammer when my car hits 6 figures in stock form. :realcrazy:

Rolling the rear quarters actually requires quite of bit of force because they're double layer with spot welds between the inner tub and the quarter. Plus, the lip is like 1" wide. So I started by just cutting the lip back to where the spot welds were, leaving the spot welds in place. That was almost a half inch of material.

The other thing about rolling is that it can cause the paint to crack or distort the quarter, especially in the back because of the amount of force needed with the double layer. So it just depends on what you want, it was easier to lose the 1/2" of metal by cutting than rolling for me. Of course I rolled what was left and pushed the quarters out pretty substantially when I did my "reverse mini tub" recently. Even then, with the inner tub removed, I had to start the rolling process using a hammer and dolly to start the bend. The quarters are pretty stout.

You can see the rolling process I did as part of my new outer tubs here
