I got a situation where the wheels side wall is cutting into the lip of the rear fender. Base on my measurements is about 5mm off. I have tried to call Speed option but no one picks up the phone. Any other chance in town?

Garagebox or Balance auto
Thanks eglove but No body does it. I gave up sold the wheels getting different size and offset that fits.
That’s too bad. I’m having issues with my fronts when my wheels are turned and I go over a bump/speed bump. No one does rolling anymore?

Oh ok... I'm sort of an idiot. Fuckin decaf coffee and this awkward phone view because I don't like the mobile site!This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Still... It was 1.5hr until he got advice that you claim would've solved the problem.
lol we all have our moments before we have had our coffee. I've been watching this thread since the start because my rear tires are rubbing on my wagon. I went to princess auto and bought a fender roller but couldn't get it to articulate enough to roll my fenders so I returned it and gave Paul a call at garagebox. he answered the first time and I made my appointment. literally one phone call lol.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

There used to be a guy in Edmonton that rented his out for nearly free. I think his user name was something like "NeverLift" but good luck finding anything on that 780 site.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
yeah but living in Calgary between the gas and time it would take to go to Edmonton.....plus that means going to Edmonton lol. princess auto's return policy is so lax that you can just buy, use and return. free rental essentially.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
HAve access to Eastwood roller. Will be attempting this long weekend. Any tips on paint that is super white color and 18 years old?!
So nervous, but I'll take my time, heat gun and lots of youtube videos prior. I don't need a full roll over, just enough to clear the tires at almost flush.
Tips I have so far:
Go very slowly and work the entire fender area little by little.
Heat gun but have yet to nail down a temp to reach without affecting paint color.

You should be good if you apply heat and as you said go slowly. Also, when you finish I would recommend applying a sealer so water can't get behind the rolled lip and sit there forever.
so I dropped off my car about 20 minutes ago, pick it up right before 6:00 tonight. will update once I get it back and hopefully no more rubbing lol.
Yeah good idea. It's a summer car but water can still get up there and rust it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Ok so picked up my car from Garagebox and have nothing but awesome things to say about the work Paul does. Done in only a couple of hours and NO MORE RUBBING!!!
I was gunna say... Paul for sure does it haha. You must have not called OP

I only had my rear fenders rolled as they were the only ones rubbing, cost was $230 and it took him a couple of hours. considering the fender roller itself was 130 from princess auto and the amount of screwing around I did i'm super happy at that price.
