GT-S owners and others that have rolled fenders - stop in
Question 1: How much clearance did rolling your fenders give you?
I installed my GT-S yesterday +18 offset - and of course had rubbing in the rear, which i expected. I've been looking for a place to roll the fender and have been unsuccessful - I've read the DIY but if i do this - i will probably buy the actual tool then just hit ebay when i'm done...
I have a place that said they could cut the fender, but no more than 1/4" or so... anything more and he worried it would jeopardize the fender's strength
Question 2: - if they cut the fender about 1/4" will that be enough? The car will probably be right around a finger gap all around - possibly a bit lower....
Any opinions?

*the tires are 275/35/19 on a 10.5" rim and only the rears are rubbing...
*haven't got it aligned yet because i want to get it aligned with my new wheels on...
*redlude - that is my thinking - i am planning to get the tool and do it properly next weekend... i was just being impatient and cutting seemed like a easy, quick fix - but i'd rather do it right so i guess I'll wait

Same wheels, offset and tire size. Really minor paint crack, but that was because i was too impatient with the hair dryer. Still, the crack is minor enough that i wouldn't worry about. Overall, pretty easy to do and only 2 bucks.
