why a shop... go buy a dremel, jack the body so its away from the tire, and dremel the fender, not a big deal.

No, thats not how you do it.

And why are you rolling the fenders? Just get a wheel that fits the car and you shouldn't have any rubbing issues. Just make sure they are a high quality shop, otherwise if they ruin the paint, your screwed.

I rolled mine with small metal pipe, and also a alum baseball bat. You will chip paint by doing so but its only in the inner fender. I painted over the chipping so it wouldnt continue. I know it sounds ghetto, but I cant trust any bodyshops around this area that wont fuck my shit up.

that may not be the way a body shop will do it, but it is cheap, easy, and quick, and it works. you dont dremel the whole inside, just enough, the paint doesnt chip either.

i had a body shop explain it to me but i havent done it yet (dont need it yet):

jack the car up, then heat the fender area (to prevent chipping) and stick a wooden baseball bat (softer than aluminum) in between the fender and tire and use the tire for leverage. roll the bat from front to back and vice versa.

that's pretty much it...good luck!
