rolling fenders

Can this job be done by myself or is it a job for a professional? How much does it cost to get done by myself and price from getting it done from a professional? Does this mean i can get the same tire (wide) all the way around and have no rubbing? Does rolling the fenders always work? please help

If you don't know what you're doing, have it done by a competent pro body shop. Cost will vary depending on the shop. You'll need to get estimates. Rolling fenders particularly up front helps keep the lip away from the tire tread's shoulder blocks. If your car is lowered excessively and the front tires are maxed out with front space, the tire's tread shoulders pull the fender lip down creating signifcant damage to the fender. Note this only happens when you pull up quickly entering a high curb driveway with your wheel cranked all the way to the left!
