    if you go really wide, it will need some work to get it nice and round again.

    mine are flared, to fit 7,5 banded steel, 15 minute job.

    it took 15 minutes with the correct toll to widen them? theres two tools on ebay and their only for rent so im thinkin it mite be just as easy to get a bodyshop to do it?

    Can use these tools so it doesn't crack the paint ?

    Or you need them repainted ?
