Default Fender Rolling

I am looking at maybe doing a wheel upgrade (have a black 04). I have kind of trashed my wheels a bit on curbs here in St. Pete. I probably will stick to wheels close to OEM, staggered 17x7 front / 17x8 rear. I may get lucky...offsets are not too bad on one set (w/ 215 tires on the front...will extend only about 3-5mm...almost nothing w/ 245 tires on the rear more...almost .5 inch (12mm) extended). I think this may cause some tire rubbing...not sure. If it does I read about fender rolling. Anyone had this done here in Tampa / St. Pete? Any recommendations?

Thanks!

I know ScutRCR and Blacknot have their's done professionally...not sure who did it. Probably S&R f/ the responses, but whoever did it, did a great job.

if you are staying close to stock I don't think you will need a fender roll, unless you have it slammed

Thanks everyone for the info. To be honest I was only thinking of doing wheels close to stock because of the fenders...now thinking I could maybe go up in width a little bit and just do the fenders. These forums are great...as is everyone on them.

I have a set of 18" racing harts with a +51 offset...I'm not sure if I'll need a roll for that, we'll see though because I haven't put them on the car yet

it might not rub while driving but you may have a problem when you go through dips in the road. it also depends on how stiff your springs/coilovers are.
