Anyone have any shop recommendations for fender rolling? I think XMP does it, but they are far away. Im in the hollywood area, so id prefer something a little closer.

well i already have goodyear gsd3 315s with a 1/2 inch spacer, and my wheels touch my fender from time to time, id rather just roll them now and when i drop the car soon, not have to worry about it any more. Ill get pics of my setup soon. Going snowboarding now, so ill do it later.

ill try to get some pics up soon. I guess since every car is different, the 1/2 inch spacers just pushed my tires out alot. The tires are almost exactly flush with my fenders if not past them. When i had a couple friends in my car, and going 65, hit a small bump, i heard the tires rub the fenders. Id rather just be safe and roll the fenders. I dont think rolling the fenders is messing it up. Just being safe.

If it is done right you cant even tell.

Yep. Did mine with a fender roller, heat gun, and patience Looks factory, but eliminated all of my rubbing problems. Most of the 'rolling' is going on inside the fender.
