Fender rolling !! Help

So I just ordered a set of eibach springs and I'm going to be order 18x9.5 15mm. With 265 35 tires. I keep hearing that I will have to roll the rear fenders with these dimensions. Problems is I thought it was simple to find a fender roller. Wrong. Anyone have a clue? Possible rent from somewhere? I don't want to have to pay a body shop to do this.. Idk even if they would around here where I live. I live 5min from the GWB if anyone knows where I can rent a roller or have it done for a fair price is appreciate it

I think Akuma (in Woodbridge) does rolling?

You could also just buy a roller, use it, and re-sell it (or rent it to your fender rolling friends) to recoop your funds.

I used a heat gun and a hammer, just go slow and make sure to put your hand on the outside of the fender when you are hitting it to "dampen" the shock. It took me about 45 mins while I was installing my coilovers and my fenders are straight and true

When I had my wrx I used rollyourfender.com If i remember correctly. It has been about 5 years though since i did it. I got my deposit back even though we put some serious wear on the rubber roller part of it. My friends and i did the fenders on four cars with it. It is easy to do and we didnt cack the paint on any of the cars with it. IF anything we overheated the fenders and it made grooves in the rubber part of the fender roling tool because of the hot metal. It cost me less than $15 if i remember excluding the deposit. I will probably use them again to do my x once I get around to buying wide wheels.

You can buy the Eastwood fender roller on ebay for $200 and do it yourself.
