Default Should I roll or pull fenders? And where? *pics

So I finally got some 20x10 et35 275/30/20 in the rear but didnt expect for this much to stick out. It was rubbing and cutting my tire so they installed some lifters/spacers for a temporary fix. So will rolling them be enough? Anywhere in the DFW yall recommend that wont break the bank? I googled and found that Lexus fenders are complicated and will cause paint to chip eventually http://tinyurl.com/37w3pe6, they recommend to cut/shave them instead, any experience guys? Advice will be appreciated, Thanks.

You'll likely want to at least roll the fenders. Running a smaller tire might also help with the rubbing. Are you at stock ride height?

Stock height. Will rolling allow a drop to sit flush?

That sticks out quite a bit. You will need to roll/cut your fenders and camber a lot. and maybe next time run a 255. if the wheels was +45 instead you probably would not of had this problem

My friend owns a fender rolling tool rental site: http://www.rollyourfender.com You can rent it and do it yourself. It takes about 15-20 mins on each fender. If you take your time and heat it up properly, it won't hurt the paint.

Just needs a roll and maybe slight pull. Take it to Kustomz Unlimited in Garland.

Just checked the inside of the wheels and I see +25, im thinking im riding on +35. They ordered me the wrong offset!! Will an extra 10mm make a difference? Now to try to convince them they made a mistake...which is hard with these mom and pop rim shops. What you guys think, is there fault in my end too?

If you lower your car it probably won't be an issue w/ sticking out...still a good idea to roll/pull though.
