fender rolling shops in so cal

Just bought a brand new set of te37 18x9.5+22 for my evo 9. Looking for a shop that does excellent work on fender rolling and possible pull.

AWD fitted did my roll. He does great work and price can't be beat. He will also come to you depending on your location.

Certainly not against the local guy doing fender work as long as they know what their doing (do not cut those rear fenders)
Had most of my serious fender work done by Muellerized or you can have Massimo Power check it out as well

275/40's on a +30 fully tucked & cleared w/zero rub (in spec camber all around)

this is exactly what i am looking for. your car looks perfect. I tried reaching out to mullerized at one point and i kept on getting the "we will call you back", but that call never returned. what would be a good tire to run with my new setup.

They are a very good shop but at times likely under staffed up front. You can try Massimo (call Gilbert)He did a lot of fender/susp work for Mueller.

As far as tire, you cant go too wide w/the rubber due to +22. Calculator shows your best option may be the tried & true 255/35 or go a bit more aggressive w/a 255/40.
With the 255, youre looking at a roll/pull & bumper bolt

I had called them for a quote & when I asked how they do their clearancing, he said they cut vs roll Keep in mind that was a few years ago

Massimo & Mueller are pretty much EVO specific shops

Dont have any closeups of the rears but with all work required to properly fit 275's, theres a bit of a bulge where the pull took place. It goes w/the territory

I was going to use Muellerized as they have a great reputation and do excellent work but the price was outrageous for the fender work. I couldn't justify spending four times the amount I ended up paying for the same work. I've also dealt with Massimo years ago and my experience was far from good. They stripped bolts in which they replaced with bigger bolts that were forced in, scratched my valve cover up, didn't perform work that was paid for, and left drain bolts untorqued so the oil drained out on my way home. This was some time ago and could have been just a bad day but I would never go back. I don't want to bad mouth anyone but this is just my opinion on all the recommendations. In the end, if I had to get fender work done, I would go to AWD Fitted or Mueller if the price was a little better. Heres some shots of my car with the fender work done in which no cutting was performed on my fenders.

Good luck with your decision and post some pictures of the results when you get it done.

I run the Touge factories 18x9.5, +27 I believe. As for tires, I run the federal RSR 255 35 18. I would like to go with a little wider tire next time.

If you are mechanically inclined, Eastwood makes a really cheap Fender roller. It kind of looks like a large set of pliers. If you do it right and not how their instructions tell you, it's really easy and comes out nice. It does take quite some time and a lot of hand strength LOL. I used it to do mine.
In fact, I'm not using mine anymore and can give you a really good deal on it.
