Default Rolled fenders Q's

My car rubs badly and I melieve its rubbing the actual fender, not the inner plastic trim inside the wheelwell.

Anyone here rolled their fenders?

Is this a pretty simple and straight forward operation if you dont need a drastic roll? Any horror stories of it going wrong?

Anyone have pictures of their rolled fenders? can you even really see a difference between a rolled and stock fender?

Thanks in advance. I need to do something about this rubbing, Its driving me insane. Kinda embarrassed to take people in my car right now.

I'm not sure of my offset. My setup looks pretty similar to yours. The face of the wheels is about flush with the line of the rear fender.

How much did they charge you to roll them? Are you happy with the way it looks still?

I rolled them myself. Doesn't change the way it looks. You can't even tell they are rolled unless you get on your knees and look up at then on the inside. It stopped the rubbing though. I had a +38 offset and it didn't work so went with a +45 and had to roll the rears still

I just ordered a set of the Tanabe NF210s for my new GS350 F Sport RWD, but I keep looking at those of you with the RSR Superdowns and get tempted to change my game. My concern is loss of ride quality. After my 2011 IS-F, the GS ride is extremely comfortable for the daily driving and I don't want to give that up to go right back to a harsh ride. Thought on daily driving the superdowns?
