Just make sure you get it done my someone with alotta experience or they could potentially crack your paint. For the 2IS its more likely they will cut your fenders instead of rolling it.

Try smaller wheels and tires.

Contact Passnu2 (Mike) via PM and he can offer his insight. He rolled his fenders due to spacers and it appeared to rectify the rubbing on his 350.

He cut the rears because he was running 275 tires in the back. He was using spacers to clear the bbk in the front (which didn't have rubbing issues).

That's why the majority of shops will only cut rear the fender and not even go near the front. Most people would just either melt the fender liner with a heatgun, cut a piece off or just totally remove it.
