Default How much to roll fenders?

I'm wondering how much this would cost me. I'm going to put 18's on my 2000 civic (215/35/18) and some poeple/places tell me they will fit without a problem, unless I drop the car to low. The problem is that I want to drop it pretty low--H&R Race springs---2.7 fr. 2.3 rear. I don't want rubbing. I know that rolling my fender would almost be a must or if not, I'll just do it to make sure, unless it REALLY isn't ness. What do you think of my setup?? BTW, it's not for shows, it's not for racing of any type either. I know they will slow the car down a little and I'm aware that I have to drive safely around curbs, potholes, etc. This would be for my satisfaction and daily driving. Thanks!!

At 2.7 I'm pretty sure at least the top of your tires will be tucked in the front, so you might want to get your fenders rolled. I have a buddy with a teg w/ 18s and he got his rolled for something like $150, but that was while it was in the shop for something else anyway.

Just about everyone on here will tell you to go smaller for rims, at first i thought oh yeah 18s will look cooler, but there are ALOT of negatvies to the bigger rims. do a search and read up. Have you seen pics of 17s and 18s on your style car?? I reccomend going down to 17s w/ 40 series tires, but thats just my opinion.

Get a hairdryer and a Louisville Slugger and do it yourself.
