Any body shop should be able to help you out, and if it costs over a bill you're probably getting ripped off. You could even try tuner shops like Speedtech or Gilman Auto. A lot of people just DIY it with a heat gun and baseball bat.

Honestly unless you're slammed like 2.5" then I don't think you're going to rub. I was lowered around 2" on 215/55/16 rubber for winter 03-04, and didn't rub once on those tires till I lowered it some more before winter 04-05. I see your profile says you're on Goldlines - the drop is not monstrous on those, I think you'll be fine.

Problem with rolling fenders is that even done right a lot of people will end up cracking the paint in there, increasing the risk of rust. So try putting the rims on first, and run with them for a day or so to see if you get any rubbing. If you do, then yes get the money out and fender roll. But if you don't (and I honestly don't think you will rub) then you can put that money towards something else.

oh yes i got the rub i got it up on a hoiste and i see that the bushings for one of my camber kits on the passenger rear is destroyed am able to wiggle the wheel up and down with no troubles damn SPC payed nice loot for them too... so im getting some Ingalls installed over the weekend and then imma get another alignment and hopefully imma be good.

guess imma have to put my rear upper tie bar back in too so i dont get as much body roll when turning neither.

i'm going to take some pics to show u the deal with the rims.

the funny things is that when i got the alignment done it says everything is perfect but i think since the busing is messed up the wheels is not sitting proper so hopefully when i get the new ones on it's gonna be like the other side and not rub.
