You're gonna have to do the fender rolling yourself, I can almost promise you. There are a couple pretty pro-level dudes on vadriven.com that you could pay to do it though.

As far as stretching a tire, I did my own, so I really couldn't say where to get it done, but I'm interested in finding out where you end up doing it.

The only place i could find my self was quality tire in woodbridge, they said they do fender rolling for 140 and something like 30 dollars a hour to try to stretch the tires or something like that. so i guess tomorrow i will try them hope it all works well!

30$ per HOUR? I think you need to find a new shop, it took me 20 MINUTES to mount my tires...

Dude you have no Idea.

NEVER EVER!!! Take your car or a loved ones, to quality tire in Woodbridge. For a shop that's been servicing Northern VA since 1986, they had no idea what the hell to do nor showed any knowledge of a shop that has supposedly been around for 26 years. I got very short rude answers to my questions was yelled at in the parking being told something wouldn't work, Over all just the worst experience Ive ever had with a shop.

I ended up just leaving and taking my car to sears in Dulles were my cousin works.
He was able to mount the supposedly "Impossible" and "Extreme Stretch" mount of 245/40/18 on 18x9.5 +30 in about 10-15 minutes if that. And from what quality tire thought of the 9.5 sitting so far out past the fenders it never work. They actually come pretty flush Ill still need to roll the front fenders and maybe mess with the liner a bit. I am getting just a little rub from pot holes and big dips but besides that no rub from turning or anything.

i had a shop in Farmville do my rx8 and it turned out great, three months later i told a freind to go there with their 2005 ferrari F360 and they cracked the paint on the first fender right in front of me. do it yourself the kit is like $250 and you can do your freinds for $50 bucks a head.

PS if your up for it we have a meet on monday nights, great turn outs no BS or racing just cool guys great cars. facebook "Monday Night Rice"
