I just put on a set of 17" LTWs. For some weird reason, they are a 20 offset, so i have a feeling that they are going to rub when I lower the car.

I need to know where you guys recommend to have your fenders rolled, and how much it costs to do?

Go to Tunerworks. Ask for Rob and say, "YO ROB, toss me that fender roller" Pay him his rental fee and DIY.

Is it simple to do? I don't want to crack the paint.

Yeah, it's simple.........I'm just lazy I'm probably just gonna go to a body shop and do it so I don't have to think about it

EDIT: LTW's are not 20 offset man. They're 41 for the rear (if you got staggered). 20 offset is like 5-series offset. You'll be sittin on your tires.....I'm assuming you're talking about the 17" forged OEM BMW rims....

Or pay my rental fee and rent my fender roller....:thumbsup:

With newer cars your less likely to crack the paint, but nothing is guaranteed. It also depends how far you roll the fenders, once you start to pull them out is when it starts to crack. Using a heat gun also helps. The farther you go, the more risky it gets.

any idea for price, also I had my car touched up last year, there was a small rust spot on one of the fenders that I just HAD to get fixed, I think the guy bondoed it; is this a problem? or will they have to cut out the spot and weld in new stuff? Price range approx?
