We can roll fenders $40/side. We are located in Inglewood, CA near LAX airport.

However, the best solution to help stop rubbing getting coilovers.

what does rolling the fender do? will it just pop it out more?

It creates space for lateral movement.

Weakens the structure somewhat--could rust possibly--but unlikely. Might affect resale if Mr. Ordinary thinks it looks odd. Most people won't notice.
