Its a pretty standard procejure. Make sure the shop that does it knows what they are doing so the paint dosent crack or get ripples. Rolling the fenders allows more room for the tire (in reply to one) Post #: 7

It handles way much better. I will add and attach the pics tommorrow. (in reply to one) Post #: 8
