Can anyone advise on a shop in or near Atlanta GA that roll fenders, I have an 08 550i that i want to lower and would like to prevent the tires from rubbing.

If youre up to the job, you can do it yourself, i know autozone by my area rents out the tool for fender rolling, if you have a local autozone give them a call and watch some tutorials how to roll fenders online, its fairly easy just be patient.

Over on the Mercedes site they just use an aluminum baseball bat. Jack up the car, easy it down with the bat between the tire/fender and roll the car forwards and back till you get the lip the way you like. Just watch the angle of the bat and go real slow. Have to have enough room between the tire/fender for the bat though. Never had the courage to do this myself but it has been put out there. Go at your own risk or keep going till you hear your paycheck.

Compared to my E36 M3, my 545 has a mile of wheel clearance. Unless you are going to slam it, fender clearance shouldn't be an issue, IMHO.
