Default rolled or cut fenders?

For all you guys who are running aggressive wheel setups. Do you prefer rolled or cut fenders? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Cut dude. It'll save you the headache about worrying if your paint is going to crack, and if it does have fun paying someone to repaint the whole 1/4 panel. It's not hard at all. And some people don't know how to roll and it will end up looking retarded IMO.

i got some questions.... if my wheels have a +35 offset and it cannot clear 350 brakes and it is only 1 disk unlike those 2 piece wheels with multiple disks.... would a 5mm spacer clear it?? how do we know and how do we measure it?

soorry to get off topic but since is on aggressive wheel thing.... rather than making a new thread

With a 35 offset IMO I think it should clear.

I was looking to purchase the fender roller from eastwood, but for $250 it's not really worth it. HKS350, does that thing really work? I think I'm with iSuxeL and Wierdazndu on this one. I will be doing this shortly before my wheels arrive. Maybe I'll do a right on how to cut your fenders with pic. hahaha!

its more about what type of disk you got (high disk low disk) if the wheel will clear the brakes

IMO, you have to worry more about the fender-bumper bolt/tab than anything else. This thing has been chewing up my PS2s!!!

I dont want to seem stupid, but could you just cut it with a dremel and grind in down. Maybe I missed the boat, but I remember my friend rolled the fenders on his Camaro (7 years ago), and the paint cracked. I really dont want that.
