Default Rolling Fenders?

What exactly is incorporated in that process and how much does it cost? I'm completely lost on this subject because i currently have no rubbing issues. However, i was planning on buying some wheel spacers to pull my wheels out from underneath my fenders (it looks worse in the front).....

A good-old Google search will bring up more than you ever wanted to know on the subject. The very first hit is an excellent how-to with step-by-step instructions and pictures....

I've heard people say they've paid anywhere from $50 to $200 to get it done. You'll probably have to spend more like $100 at a good body shop. You only need the rears rolled as the fronts come that way from the factory. Reach up under your front and compare to the rear to see what the difference is.

What will ultimately determine if you need rolling is the width of the wheel, offset, tire size, spacer thickness and how much your car is lowered.

I just had mine done today for $25 each side. What a difference it makes. I can now take turns or hit bumps without and rubbing noise.

So what exactly is the difference in rolling and shaveing the fender, i like the way your car sits and was wondering how much they shaved off.

Looks good man

Cheers
