Rolling fenders in Orange County?

Anyone know a good place to roll the fenders on my 95 E320 wagon? I recently put AMG monoblock II, with 17 X 8.5, with 245/40/17 tires on the rear. There is slight rubbing when I go over bumps, so I think i want to roll the rear fenders a bit. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks, if HMS is Harbor Motor Sports, I called them. The person I talked to did not seem like he wanted to help me, and basically told me, they would not be able to roll the fenders. They only do it for their customers, which I did not understand. I told him I can pay, but he did not seem interested. Oh Well, I will have to keep searching. Anyone with any other suggestions. Thanks

Hmm... Not sure if Ed, Jon or Ernest would have said those exact words. They are always willing to help anyone out.

Drop by tomorrow and check it out. I'll be there with my W124 throughout the whole day.

I will give it another shot and ask for Ed, later in the day. I did not get a name of the person I spoke to. He sounded like he was Persian, but I could be way off. Thanks for you help guys.

Thumbs up

I went on Sat., and Ed was very nice. He asked me to come back on Sun. Nice to meet and talk to you Chris. I went again to HMS on Sun., and Ed took great care of me. Also, I was able to talk to John. You guys were right, these guys are great. Great customer service, and both are benz enthusiasts. What more could you ask for. Big thumbs up to both Ed and John at HMS.
