Shaving or Fender Roll?
So I have a 2011 Lexus IS-F and just ordered some 19x9 +35 and 19x10 +35 wheels. I here that I will rub in the back so I am wondering what I should do. I'm worried if i shave it will rust and if I roll the paint will crack. what should I do? Anyone who has done it one here can you please give me some advice? Thanks

not sure why you would rub with 19X10 in the back, most people have 10.5 in the back and dont have to roll the rears..........i have 20x11 295/25/20 and had them rolled and havent had a problem once........

See below...
I didn't waste my time with heating & rolling..
I shaved / grinded off the excess metal and used a few layers of touch paint to seal it up..
Looks & feels like OEM

You need to be very patient and apply roller pressure very little at a time as too much will damage the fender. I spent about 45 minutes per fender which was a little more than I needed but wanted to be absolutely sure I did not dimple the fender which could happen if you get impatient. You also need to adjust the top roller angle during the process. Start out less of an angle then gradually work it more vertically as you invision the edge first bending upward then angled towards the fender itself. Did I say be patient? Roller a little at a time.
I have an Eastwood roller tool.
