Default Advice Sought - Difficult Rear Fender Rolling

Howdy all,

I have a 1985 Merkur XR4Ti that is my ass-kicking track car. I've asked this question in the states but so few take their car to this level that I'm not getting much feedback. So, I hoping that I can pull from the genious of you guys .

I have to roll my rear fenders quite a bit, as I am fitting 17x8 wheels with 245/45/17 Hoosiers and I have to keep the car low to the ground. What have experiences been out there in such a project? Due to the construction of the rear fender section, I fear I may have to cut the inner well, roll the fender, and then weld a patch to maintain structural integrity.

I have a fender roller tool, and I have been able to flare my front fenders out over 2" which holds the same wheel/tire setup well. So, the fronts aren't a problem.

Any tips or BTDT’s?

Thanks!
Peter
