You could probably do it yourself along with the help of a friend. After watching the guys at the shop we realized it was something we could do ourselves and it takes nothing more than a wooden baseball bat. There is little you can do about the front since the fender metal is thin and can easily dent. If anything, you could cut out the plastic inside of the fender wall. In terms of the back, you can do a lot more. The lip on the inside of the fender can be rolled up using a wooden bat. Jack the car up, place the bat on the tire, lower the jack slowly onto the bat...But do it slowly so you don't dent your fender, and begin to roll the bat along the inside of fender. This will roll lip up so it doesn't hit your tire..That's all to it. I was rubbing at lot when I first put my wheels on, but rolling the fenders put an end to that.
