Need help with my fenders
Ok guys I searched and still havent found my answer.
I just got some b+g's and I am planning on having my car slammed, I got 18's 215/35 with a 40 offset and im guessing they will probly rub, now whats the deal with cutting or "rolling" the fenders. It seems that only certain shops can roll it and it still cracks paint and rusts, correct?
Some people said they had theirs cut? wouldent this get rid of the welds and **** up ur fenders. Also can you explain to me how exactly they cut them, also how much should I be lookin to pay if I do this.
1 More ?, if I do this will it rust even with those coasts they put on the metal.

Have you ever looked at the rear fenders? They don't cut the fender they cut the lip off on the inside. And you might as well cut it all off if you are going to cut it at all. They will take a plasma cutter, cut the fender, and paint it and seal it. I would not do it yourself, but you can if you have the tools and a steady hand.
Shops can roll, but you always run the risk of cracking the paint. They have a special tool to do it.
Another option is just to put the camber more negative.
