Do all 02+ 996's narrow body cars have factor rolled fenders

Just went out to measure my wheel/fender to see how where spacers would put the wheel and noticed my fenders are rolled. Since I bought my car new I know it wasn't a previous owner.

Is the GT3 the same or do they roll the fenders even more.

that's scary. i have an '03 coupe and they are not rolled in the rear. someone must have snuck into your garage and rolled them without you knowing.... but who???

Just went out to double check again. Both the front and rear appear to be factory rolled.

The front appears to be rolled over most of the fender radius.

The rear appear to be rolled from 3/4 twords the front of the fender all the way back to the bumper line where the fender ends.

I also found references in the factory TSB "Summer tire and wheel recommendations" dated 6/04 that for 01 cars and earlier to run 285 or larger tires 18" on factory rims the "wings" need to be reworked. The described work is concistant with the fender rolling I found on my 2003 Carrera from the factory.

Is the GT3's fender rolling the same as the base 02+ carrera?
