I personally rolled my fenders. I told aliu603 about shane. Shane does an excellent job.
You can look his car up on google just write shane's bagged g35 or shane's g35. He is legit and has done about 6 of my friends car.

Text him and let him know that alex(aliu603) and leon, told you about him. So he can hook you up with the homie discount.

Or you can shave them. Its up to you. Just telling you what i did.

yeah i didd that too.. i cut it..but it wasnt enough so i found someone to roll it completely flat with enough aggressive pressure as he was rolling to kinda pull the fender out a bit too..its perfect no paint problems.

My setup is

19x8.5 +40(adding 10mm spacers) on 235/35 tires
19x10 +48(adding 15mm spacers or should I 10mm?) on 275/30 tires

I was thinking of just rolling, but thnx for the info. Im going to give
that guy Shane a call and try him out...

Don't mean to thread jack (well, I guess I do), but what are the advantages/disadvantages of shaving/cutting vs. rolling?

Rolling Advantages:
1. More durable (since the paint is still intact/sealed)
2. Cleaner look?

Shaving/Cutting Advantages:
1. No paint cracking risk
2. Cheaper?
3. Easier DIY?
