Default Need Help. Looking for shop to roll fenders

I need to roll my rear fenders due to rubbing especially when entering driveways. Any shops in OC, Inland Empire or surrounding areas? I live in Corona /Riverside area.
On Eibach prokit and H&R spacers 15mm front and 20mm rear, 18" staggered stock wheels.
Any input greatly appreciated.

I am in IL and just got off the phone with a place that told me that they wont roll the fenders?? he told me that our fenders dont hold up if they are rolled?

Can anyone confirm this? Sorry for the off topic but figured it was worth sharing and getting info for OP.

what is the process to shave? never done either but wont that leave a sharp lead? i think i am better to play it safe and go with a streched tire and not do this at all.

actually i do all the fenders myself (gs400, ls460l). i took the long way and it take couple of hours but the results are a lot better than what i have seen on some other cut fenders

shave/cut, you basically just take out that whole tab. there might be sharp edges, but you can always smooth it out. and you just put touch up paint afterwards to avoid rusting

Yea i guess that would be my fear as i am in IL so winter/salt not sure how well the shaving will hold up on rusting. I test fit a 275/38 on the 19x10 rear and its right there. minimal rub over bumps i think but who knows till i have it on the road. Discount tire was kind enough to got this far but has left me not knowing what to do. either i strech the tires or do fender mods.

if done right and you put on touchup, it will hold forever, just like normal panels

anyone with a garage and do their own cutting / shaving, it's just a lot of dust belt sander is your friend
