Where to roll fenders in Vancouver?

Hey everyone

I need to roll my rear fenders as I'm rubbing ever so slightly in the passenger rear side only. Any recommendations as to where to take it in the Vancouver BC area? I have KW V3's set to the highest setting in the rear so rolling is my only option left.

thanks

Our cars suck cuz a little change in wheels offset or tire sizing, and the passenger rear will rub.

It's about a 1/4" of material. No where really does it because of the chance the paint will crack or chip.

I just had my rear rims machined to bring them in a bit more. Worked great.

Not sure of this would help or not but... The oem battery is very heavy, maybe switching to a light weight battery might help (you mentioned the rubbing is very slight) and in Japan the battery is on the rear passenger side. (plus reducing weight is always good haha) Good luck with solving your problem!

I think the oem battery is around 60lbs and Braille B2015 battery is like 15lbs

You can not roll the fenders on a C63.

Very minimal lip and not enough to roll to make any differences.

3 mm upfront and 2.5mm in the rear. It makes a difference. Especially if you are using wider tires/rims.

The rear fenders have enough of a lip it would make the world of difference to me.

The front also has a significant lip as well.

Im surprised to hear some on here thinking its hardly worth it. the Fender Lip on the C63's are actually quite large in comparison to a few of my other vehicles.

Again this won't matter much if you are sticking to safe offsets / tire widths.

Those who venture into a more aggressive wheel / tire setup will definitely see the benefits of rolling the fenders.

Can't roll it, shave it but be sure it's done right and painted to avoid rust

Not entirely sure as to why everyone is set on the fenders not being "rollable."

Pick up a fender roller and a heat gun. Practice, roll yours, then roll a few friends for 50 bucks a corner and you've already made your money back.
