Default Fender flaring advice

Anybody familiar with fender/body flaring? I'm looking to widen my rear and front some to accommodate wider wheels and don't know what is involved. Thanks in advance

Are you wanting to do body work to flare out the flares or roll the flares to make your wheels fit so they dont rub.

Flare widening there many different ways of doing it, they all require lots of labour

Fender flare rolling is a lot less labour

Flare. Fronts are already rolled and rears are shaved.

Just take it to a great body shop and be ready to pay lots and lots of $$$$$$. That's what I did.

You need a body shop man. You can flare it out a little so if you need about 1/4 to 1/2" max you could possible pull it a little and maybe get away with just angling the flare a little without messing up the body line. I'm not liable for anything though .
