Only thing you should be worrying about is your car bottoming out. On stock offsets you will be FINE.

kevin, from experience on stock ap1 rims, i didnt have a problem w/ fender damage when i was tucked, but I left it that way for only 1 month before a different setup.

edit: if anything you will only need a roll if you stay s2k offset safe w/ different rims in the future. once youre rolled, most rubbing wont show

yeah it doesn't really hurt to get them rolled, you might need it in the future too right?

but you should be fine for now, keep a look out for someone hosting a fender rolling day and get in on that. if your gonna have someone do them, might as well do the rears too w/ the bumper tab relocation.

i would recommend either tj (silentdancer) or spunky

if you want to try it out yourself, either your fronts, or all 4 lmk.

im getting a price quote of $40 per fender.

do i really need the rears done? im more concerned about the front fenders getting ripped up

yeah fronts should be fine then, you really only need the rears if you know your rubbing, the quarter panel is pretty strong. i was rubbing hard on the rears for a a few hundred miles... no damage that is noticeable to the passing eye, other than my old tires
