any tire place can do the mounting and balance for you, as for the springs, your best bet is to get a buddy to help you and rent a compresser from autozone for like 15 bucks.. shops will rip you off on spring installs, just do it yourself and then if you don't know how to do your own alignment take it to a shop right afterwords and have them do it
why are you rolling your fenders? going up in rim size or width? i would stay with the 17x8...

And if you're going with an agressive fitting wheel, that would need fender rolling to fit. I would be concerned with greater amount of wheel travel associated with softer lowering springs. So you're either going to need wheel gap to account for the travel of the wheel or you're going to need stiffer spring, most likely coilovers, to control the movement of the unsprung mass.

I'm going with 18x9.5 +30 with 265/35-18's. I haven't purchased the springs yet, but I'm going with a heavier spring rate over stock (Tanabe) to counter the kind of travel that you're talking about.
Due to the offset and tiresize, I need to roll the rear fenders. I didn't want to go to a tire shop because of the 35 profile and the width of the rim - some generic places have older equipment which can damage the wheel. Hence my question about a performance shop.  If you guys know anyone local who is decent, just point me in the right direction. Thanks. |

We do all three and prefer mounting an agressive wheel setup. PM me or give us a call at 215-825-5341 if you are interested. We are in Lansdale, so not too far from Levitown.

Area1320 can roll your fenders up. I think they may still be running their $25/fender special. They did an excellent job on car.
