    don't forget to go really slow and use a heat gun, if you think the fender is hot enough heat it up more. I did my own and didn't chip the paint at all.

    In the link above, I found that some are sayin not to roll my fenders if Im just going from stock to 225/40/18's. I will say that they do rub a little bit when I'm being agressive... I guess all im trying to do is to have a longer life on the tires. How long show this take if I do it right? Would someone be willing to help me on a weekend or week night? I have a indoor place to work on car if need be. Ill keep looking round on here.

    I would be down! I'm always up for leaning/trying new things. I'm also going to be doing mine. I have a good idea whats going on. I went to school for auto body so there should be no problem.
