A good body shop will have the fender roller. It also costs a bit to go ahead and have them do it since they've gotta make sure not to crack the paint.

Have you had a more aggressive alignment yet? I would think that a good -2 degrees should help if your not there already.

unfortunately, with the CE28N rear offset, there ain't much you can do. you'll have to roll the fenders real far, because they are a 47 (or is it 48?) mm offset. proper offset for an 18x8.5 or 18x9 is over 55

i have the 48offset with 18x8.5 not 9 , with the fender roll, it should be fine. it only rub when doing cayon runs. regular driving no problem.

Another possibility is stiffer shocks/springs. My 17" CE28Ns rubbed on stock suspension but they're fine with JIC coilovers, even lowered.

i had the same rims before and rubbed on stock height even when i was running -2.5 camber in the rears. only rubbed on big dips or bumps in the road but got annoying pretty quick. it looked good though.

edit: try running rounder tires, 245 instead of 255, and maybe -2.5 rear camber or greater.
