Back Fenders Rollable??

Just a quick question to anyone who has had their back fenders rolled...

I recently received my spacers and based on the help from a few people here, it turns out I'll have to have my rear fenders rolled due to the offset (+21).

I'm supposed to be meeting with a guy this week who does it but I'm kind of concerned. I took a look at the rear fenders and the lip that needs to be rolled seems to be sheet metal. Is that even roll-able?

I have a sportback RA so I don't know if that makes a difference or not...

If anyone has experience in this I'd like to hear how it went for you.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I should be getting it done Wednesday so I'll take some pics. They are 25mm hub centric spacers.

When you get your fender rolled, it's a good chance that you will lose your seam sealer (a bead of silicone-like material along the edge of the part of the fender you'll be rolling). I recommend you find some asphalt undercoating or something similar and coat the areas where you've lost the seam sealer. Especially since you're Canadian... salt from the roads will eat your newly rolled fender in the winter. I used asphalt undercoating, picked it up at Canadian Tire.

Ya, I'll post up pics in the next month or so. I still have springs to put on and I'm getting the wheels powder coated black shortly.

Once those two remaining items are done, I'll post up some pics. Hopefully should have a decent stance after all that.
