Default Fender Rolling

Hi guys well a couple weeks ago I ordered some Work wheels. The specs are 18x8.5, +32 offset all around. I'm lowered 1.8 inches as of now and I'll be running my current tires with them which are 225/40/18. Looking at the wheel fitment chart and such, It looks like I will need at least a minor fender roll. I've been calling around at a few shops and they either have said that tC fenders cannot be rolled or have quoted me at above 200$. Does anyone know of any good shops in the socal area that have done this at a good price but also have done a great job? Thanks in advance

the rear fenders can absolutely be rolled with proper procedure of heating the paint to prevent chipping

some shops do not like to roll the fronts because of the fender being to easy to bend, they do not want to risk damaging the fender, but it can be "crimped" with a special tool from eastwood, and can be minor pulled by hand as i did to mine!

btw, down here in florida the shop i went to charged 35 per fender, 200 is rediculous!!!

def get the rear fenders done. not worth it to spend the money on the front fenders since there isnt much to roll.
