Default Fender Rolling

I've been talking to Jim at tire rack and i'm looking at some 17x8 +45 fronts and 17x9 +45 rears and even with a skinnier tire hes stating i may need the fenders rolled. can anyone give me an idea of what this entails and a cost for the job??

Before I rolled my own fenders w/a baseball bat, I called around and most places were gonna charge me starting at $150 up to $250. And most of them said there's a slight chance my paint might crack. So I spent $8 on a baseball bat an it worked out ok. Just be patience if you decide to do it on your own. If your close by I'll be happy to give you a hand.

What car did you use a baseball bat on? Try rolling the fronts with a baseball bat and you'll soon be sorry.

There are a handful of people/shops that do that on this site in the UMW. Do a search specific to the UMW forum and you'll find one of those providers.

GT Motoring is a site sponsor that offers this service local to UMW. There are others as well that many owners have had great success with as well.

Luder94, I did it on my S. Oh, I only did the rears. Now that you brought it up I don't think I'll even try doing the fronts. hehe. Luckily I only needed to do the rears.
