what are the specs on your wheels and tires? and how often do you rub?

that will determine if fender rolling will actually fix the problem.

stock wheels. just spaced it out 1 inch on each side. i did a like 2 inch drop though

Let's have some fun with math. An inch is 25.4mm. The 9.5 wide 45mm offset RP-F1s are very close to rubbing. 0.75 inch plus 5mm are on the wheel side, which equals about 24mm of extra width out of the fender well. You're less than 2mm more outboard than those guys, but the guys that run that wheel tend to also run negative camber. Nonetheless, I feel should be fine if you roll your fenders. If you really want to be safe, get an alignment and make sure you have at least a degree of negative camber.

there is a tool that is used to roll fenders. it is attached to the center hub and from there rolls the fenders.

maybe you should take it to a shop to do it...

found a fender roller. got it done. fits great. i don't have a cam yet, but will post pics soon. paint is fine. i had to get a heater and 2 blow dryers going on it to keep it from cracking. looks very nice, nice aggressive stance. handling is much better too. i can really feel it on on and off ramps. can't really push it like how i would wnat to like if i was on the track, but i can feel going at a spirited pace that it grips and holds better. love the up grade, didn't cost too much but was something i could immediatly feel.
