Looking for someone in LA to roll my front fenders this week...

Anyone on here have a fender roller that they can use to take care of my fronts?

I'm rubbing only when slightly turned and going over driveways.

Wheel specs are 19x8.5 +35 with 245/35 tires, Neuspeed race springs and Koni SP3s second perch from bottom.

A great chance for you to make some quick money. I'm in West LA, Beverly Hills to be exact, and I'm willing to drive maybe 15-20 miles max out of the way.

You should be willing to drive far to get it done by someone reputable for your fender rolling. Any untrained douche can do it, but it might **** up your fender / paint.

Just an fyi...when you roll the front fenders they naturally get pulled slightly. And where are you rubbing? You're most likely rubbing on the small tab right where the fender meets the front fender. You can dremel that off flat.

I want my rears rolled flatter...like Jaime's, I felt his and they are pretty flat. I was rolling mine with Mike and theres that spot in the rear where theres a bump its annoying.

Also Elliot when you are that low it doesnt matter how rolled your fronts are you are still gonna rub. My fronts rub when I turn in on driveways too fast and this is with my Aspec wheels and my front fenders are rolled flat and pulled.

I just had my rears done at Project Import www.projectimport.com

They came out perfect. They are the same place that did Jaime's fenders.

Bit of a drive for us northerners but it was worth it to have it done right.

Well on the phone they said $30-35 per fender depending on the car. Then they saw my car and said $40 a fender cuz they said my car was a PITA cause it was too low, and my wheels were too nice, and some other stuff so it took them longer than a normal car lol. Still worth it though. I tried doing my rears with Mike and it was a pain in the ass. We got em rolled like halfway and I was afraid we were gonna mess up the paint.

ohhhh you tried rolling them before with mike???
totally skipped that while I read your post loll
I actually managed to hammer the rears a bit so that my tires don't rub THAT much ... but afterward I dropped my car a bit more so that I only have half an inch of thread left on my basics ... now, every bump is GRRRRRRRRR GRRRRRRR GRRRRRRRRRR

Yeah Mike and I were doin it, it was a real pain in the ass, easier to just let a shop do it.

That said, my tires still rub lol but thats because I am tucking tire on 255/35/19s
