A fender reforming tool (or fender roller) is a manual automotive device that bolts directly onto a car's wheel hub to flatten or push out the inner wheel arch lip, creating extra tire clearance
How It Works
- Hub Mounting: The tool secures to 4-lug or 5-lug wheel hubs using the vehicle's own lug nuts
- Adjustable Arm: An arm with a nylon roller wheel extends out to press against the inner lip of the fender
- Gradual Pressure: Turning the adjustment handle or T-bar incrementally pushes the roller back and forth in arcing swings, folding the metal flat without cracking the paint (when used with heat)
Common Uses and Options
- Tire Clearance: Prevents oversized wheels or lowered suspension setups from rubbing against the guard
- Dent Repair: Smooths out minor inner wheel arch deformation or body damage
