Default rolling/flaring the fenders

has anyone tried to flare the fenders (front and back) slightly)? i need to have my fenders rolled and flared slightly to fit the rims which all have less than 2mm of clearance from tire!

i would like to hear feedbacks of how successful or not you were with flaring the fenders/rolling them as well.

i know there is a kit that has flared fenders (fiberglass) but i wanted to do it on the stock fenders. maybe an inch or so widened would be nice... i take it most reputable body shops can get it done well? curious how much it would run, if anyone has had the experience before.

thanks

turboteg got a pretty good pull in the rear. I have seen some pretty extreme pulls in Japan. Special care will be needed in though. If you look at the side of your car, you will see that there is a line in the body that extends from the front fender back. You will need to be very careful to keep this straight and true to the rest of the car.
