Being that aggressive I think you'll need to shave.

a proper rolling job will pull the the fender out a little bit. also, if you do end up needing to shave the fenders for even more clearance, you can always opt to do that in the future.

You guys with your shaving scare the beejeebers outta me. I have visions of tires getting sliced and rubber slats flying at my windshield while your car goes spinning off the side of the cliff.

*shivers*

I'm not much of an expert but I've seen some rolled fenders that don't look good. It'd look better shaved.

same can be said of some of the fender-shaving jobs i've seen, so it goes both ways.

if the person doing the work doesn't have experience doing the work and/or isn't familiar with the nuances of the 2is fenders, the work will turn out terrible regardless of what type of work is being done.

. there's no such thing as a 100% perfect roll on either fender or quarter panel. the only way to achieve a perfect roll is to have a body shop smooth it out and repaint.
