I asked the same question about four months ago, but was too impatience for an answer. I ended up using a dremel and cutting wheel.

Actually, first I took some masking tape and masked off the underside of the fender. Then I drove around, went over some bumps, and went back home. I could see exactly where the tire was hitting the fender where there were black marks on the masking tape.

I ended up cutting about 1/4" off of the fender. You just have to be careful and have a steady hand. I went back with some touch up paint and painted the edge to prevent rusting.

thx for the reply, i rolled the fenders on my previous car and didn't do such a great job so i'm kinda skeptical to do 'em again. maybe someone else knows of a place that would do them professionally.

A few of the local 240 guys have used it to pull their fenders.

I did mine to put my 295 tires on with a 19 by 10.5 rim, I chose not to cut my quarters to keep some of the strength..
