Quit crying, and roll your fenders..
first time i've actually seen a fender roller in action.

the guys at PTuning told me that fender rolling would require body work (i.e. painting) if i rolled them...

i guess that's only if you roll it so much that the metal stretches and the paint fades out in the spot that it stretches?

Mine was rolled to accomodate a 7.5 +50, 8.5 +48 with 225/255 Setup. Mild rolling, so no paint came off. It's all about the aggressiveness, and the amount of heat that is applied.

when done properly paint is unharmed.

and if you roll your fenders, shave the bumper lip, and relocate the bumper mounting screw back about 1.5 inches. you can keep the camber you have now.

rolling the fenders and running -2 camber should be fine.

FYI most people running that wide of rim are running 60+ offsets.

I am running 9.5" rims with a 73 offset and have no rubbing even tho I am lowered a lot.
