Hi guys,
I'm in the market for a lower offset wheel, and my plans for bigger wheels/tires are going to destroy my front fenders if I don't take necessary precautions....did some searches but had a hard time navigating trying to find an answer...so here it goes:

It seems my options (other than crazy camber) are to get wider front fenders, or to do a fender pull. I've noticed most people have to do a repaint after a fender pull due to paint chipping. So my question...which is the more cost effective option? Do regular body shops do fender pulls or would I have to go to a custom tuner shop to get it done? Would it be cheaper just to buy a $500 wider fender set and have it painted?

...any info would be greatly appreciated...and please excuse me for being a newbie

Obviously depends on the shop but the front pull would probably be a little cheaper then the fenders but then again it might be pretty close so probably depends if you want the stock fender look or want to go with some aftermarkets. I would base it on what you want since the difference wouldn't be to significant depending how crazy you had the bodyshop go on the pull/flare.

thanks for the reply....was thinking i could go with CF fenders...and repaint them at a later time...but I think that looks kind of cheesy when not done right

I would honestly go for the wider fenders. I think it looks better, and not just a way to tuck away the meatier tires.

But cost effective would definitely be a fender roll.

Oh yeah, definitely avoid crazy camber. Looks kind of retarded, IMO.

Fender roll, sand, and paint should be cheaper. s2ki guys will do front fender work for maybe $50 for both both front fenders. sand and paint might cost $400. You're still less than the cost of new fenders (excluding fitting and painting of the new fenders)

However, if you're very particular with how it will all look, aftermarket wide fenders will look best.
