Default Rolling fenders?

I have a 15x7 +35 offset rims on my eg and its kind of low, it seems to scrape when i make hard turns, only the back though.... should I just raise it or roll the fenders?

here is a picture

easier said than done.. if he cracks the paint in the fender, its gonna be hard to get cuz its a custom mix.. unless he just paints it black or something

what if the shop cracks it...same thing...i would do it myself, if its a quality paint job it wont crack if not then......

plus its just the lip, its not really close to the actual paint...it shouldnt crack, i have done several with just a bat, onetime on a freshly painted EG...no problems...

roll it cause itll look sick. Looks great, so if you raise it, it may not look as cool.

P.S. you left the sticker on your rim.

Some shops will just saw/grind away at the inner fender lip. I don't know, I would take a heat gun or blow drier to the paint before even attempting it. You want the paint as soft as possible.
