whats the process of rolling fenders? is it something i can do myself? ive seen the gadget that mounts to the car but im wondering if there is a do it yourself method, i only need a little room to clear. can i bang away (with care of course) with a mallot or something? if not im sure i can find someone to swap 12m spacers for 10mm spacers

rolling fender is not the stuff you wanna do by yourself if you do not know what you are doing...
also you need a tool to do it... and do not bang with stuff.. it can damage paint and crack...
i have done it before and it is hard and if paint is old can crack the paint...
but you should heat up paint little bit with heat gun and then use the tool to roll the fender... but you gotta adjust angle and others...
it wont be that expensive to get them rolled.. or john might know how to do it...

I should start a forum called spacersswap. Everyone needs to swap spacers ALL THE TIME! LOL.
yea, if we buy the car im gonna have to do something.. only thing is the exhaust is on my car and dammit i dont want to take it off.. if i have it done i would have to remove the rpi, and weld back the stock one, it just sounds like a pain in the ass... i cant imagine driving my car and it purring so quietly that i cant even hear it.. any recomendations anyone?>

i had to remove the spacers in rear today.I was driving and hit a slightly deeper than normal dip in the road. Heard something terrible from the rear end. Cut off a piece of tire like I was slicing bologna. No issues with tire. Piece was about 6 inches long. Driving to Atlantic city this weekend couldn't take any chances. I'll be swapping to 10 mm this week. So if anyone wants to switch to 12 mm from 10 mm let me know.
