Where to get rear fenders rolled NJ/NYC area

I'm going to add some 10mm spacers and lower springs soon, I believe I'm going to need some fender rolling to get flush with the lowered suspension.
I'm looking for a reputable spot to roll the rears near north jersey.

Thanks

might want to think about 7x15 for your spacers.. if on twists? w lowered it's an awesome low and wide stance. other wheels? maybe the 10mm is best. dont know, but the fender rolling is not as scary as it seems.. to some folks. but not you good idea.

Not stock wheels 19" AG ruger mesh. Rears came 52 offset, they fit fine but wanna try to get them more flush.

yeah, as low and wide as we can *practically* be. I finally tried to get my wheels alone, to do what I was doing with spacers. my only prob is my wheel needs an insert hub ring lol. it's like I traded one spacer for another


but rolled fenders is a must, I think.

I am in Morristown and go to Eurotire in Fairfield to get tire and alignment work done - not sure on rolling fenders but they do alot of porsche work - also I am GT2ride height with turbo twists and have 15mm all the way around and could probably fit 20 in the rear.

Guys, we have a spread of Porsche's from 944's, 930's, 996tt's, all the way up the brand new 2015 991 GT3.

We have the center-lock tools for working on GT's, 918's, GT3/Turbo Mono-blocks, along with an assortment of other specialty tools for Porsche specific jobs in addition to the experience of knowing how to use them!

The issue with rolling fenders in the dead of winter is there an inherently greater chance at doing damage to the paint given the salt/residue on the fender lip and the temperature of the paint. This is a 10 year old car in 20 degree weather, we recommend doing tasks like this in warmer temps but if desired it can be attempted in lower temp conditions but the there is an inherently greater chance something may go wrong.

I have spoken with the OP on the phone and answered all of his questions,If anybody else has any questions specifically feel free to contact us directly via pm or call!

Yeah I spoke to Sam at RSW, when the weather gets warmer I'll bring it in to him, although I don't drive in the snow so there is no salt or residue on the car and its garaged and not exposed to this sub-zero weather, but i'll wait until temps get better...

Thanks again SAM.
