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.

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

driving in the snow, lowered sux! i did it last yr and my bumper was the snow plow lol! i think if the paint chips enough and start seeing bare metal it will rest like anything else
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.
