Well the wheels are FINALLY coming in. Going to run a 195/50 and im pretty sure i'll need my arches rolled. Anybody have a roller, or other method and willing to help me out?

The only shop that I know of that has one is R/T Tuning in Lansdale. They do a great job but realize that it is always a possibility that paint will flake after that metal is bent. Nothing any shop can really do about it. Just the risk you take.
You need to roll to run a 195? Some kinda crazy offset wheels?

im kinda in the same boat, i need to roll the back on my supra, its not hard to do if u can get the roller just use a lot of heat and go slow. when trying to do it fast is usually when paint cracks/chips.

i know R/T tuning does a great job getting wheels to fit properly (they're getting my 17X10's into my s14). they have always been 100% with everything they've done for me and my friends. they are great at rolling fenders too. give them a call.

Nothing to be nervous about... keep it hot, go slow, be patient. If Ryan is doing it you'll be fine. I had a crack come out of nowhere but its underneath the lip so you cant see it at all. We just put some touchup paint on the spot to seal it up and no one would ever know its there. I'm pretty particular about my car, so I'm confident that if its ok with me, it would be ok with just about anyone :).

What if you want something like this done....it's more of a roll/pull job. any recommendations for the Wilmington area?

Shawn did make a thread about us not doin it anymore. I got a lil annoyed with a run of customers we had and decided not to. We have done them since them but at our discretion. We did more then just rolling we did a decent amount of stretching as well, and no matter how much heat and patience you have...paint doesn't stretch... so i decided to stop for a lil while. But as long as you know the possible outcome and you are not unreasonable we are more then happy to take care of it...
