Default can anyone in/around IOWA roll my fenders?

i'm looking to get my fenders rolled later on to get 15x8's. i want it professionally done considering i dont have money to repaint the car if the paint cracks. i need to know how much it will cost for someone around here (iowa/midwest) to do it that has done it before, because i dont trust myself w/ renting/buying one and doing it. thanks!

most people ive seen that have done it themselves have cracked the paint. and like i said i dont have the money to be repainting the car just because i decided not to do it the right way. have you done it?

hey i did it, just like your situation.. i paint the car then rolled them. cuz i had 7" width with no prob then decided to go low offset with 8"s.. i rolled them with the tube and yes the paint cracked but just on the lip that i folded underneath where no one sees. then i got tired of the tubing and used a malet and went to town lol... no cracks on the surface of the fender, just the inner.

ohh ok. will it rust if the paint is cracked in there? or is there something you can put on to prevent rust. cuz i have to drive in snow in the winter... even though i wont be lowered in the winter it will still get wet..

btw what rims/tires do you have? i like how close it sits to the fenders. thats what i'm gonna go for..

i havent done anything to mine, but on a day where im bored ill mask off the fender lip and just can it with some flat black primer, or i think you could spary some stuff that prevents rust. but i think once you paint bare metal your good.. im rockin bbs rs 16x8 +24. the pic shown is slammed on my ej in the front with mininal camber. i hate camber!!! especially in the rear!! ahh!! reminds me of a dog taking a **** lol squating... so if i were you id stay away from +0 but its up to you. my tires are 205/40/16. but my ideal tire would be 195/40/16 but its kinda rare for the local tires shops to carry it. but in a 15" its common, so if i were you id go with a 195/40(or 45)/15 so you will have a slight tire angle or (tire strech). which will allow for more clearance for your drop. your fender rolling will give you angle to work with.

my dad suggested spraying the rolled part of the fender with bedliner material so it would never chip lol. and the rims i am lookin to get are +15 xxr 501's in silver. i'm gonna have to have a little camber but yeah i hate that too where the back wheels are sideways.
