I'm assuming you didn't pay for services?
yes, I have paid of the services. When they rolled the fenders, I didn't know that's what they did and even after finding out (I was pissed by then) it was already paid for. Now that I had T1S's, I needed the fender pull, which I did myself.

Take into account how much you want to drop your car and how aggressive you want your set up to be.

Thanks for the sympathy guys. But I am the ONLY one in town with this set up. We didn't even have a place that would do a minor stretch on the tires. I didn't have any input from any one shops, any peeps (as I am the only one with a G like that in town.

Look way better than that, lol.
If I knew that they were going to cut my fenders to roll them, I wouldn't have agreed to it. This is the aftermath of what happens when the work is done half right.

The owner did tell me that there might be some damage. I just with I knew that they didn't have eastwood roller to roll them. I would of taken my car else where.

My car had some body work done to it, AFTER they so called "rolled" my fenders. So, bat or jack handle was out of question. However, i am glad it worked out for you.

How many decent looking cars do you have in your town/city? You can always buy the roller, and lease it out (which is what I did, leased it from a guy that had one). It will pay for itself FAST.

Yes the pull was needed, if you didn't want to rub with offsets of -8 in the back and -7 in the front. What offsets are you running my friend? Anything this aggressive?

See the post above. I am running 245/20 -8 in the rear, 225/20 front -7. Match that without a roll or a pull when you are tucking tires.

You are correct my friend. it does mean flaring outwards.
