Fenders pulled?

I just got some 19'' Techarts and they are sticking out past my fenders. Should i get my fenders pulled? Has anyone seen a 996 with pulled fenders and know of a competent place to get in done?

Thanks

haha i just made a thread for people to post their pics of their rolled fenders. Not many people here are big fans of that but check out jayfunk. His wheels stick out and his fenders are rolled. Got pics of your techarts? What are the specs?

just had mine done. you can get more information at

www.rollyourfenders.com

some places do it some dont, a good job should look nothing's been modified from the outside. it solved my rubbing issues but there are are a lot of factors to consider. wheel size and offset, tire size, camber, spacers

If the wheels stick out past the fender, I don't think rolling is going to be enough help. It sounds like you have the wrong offsets.

Ill post some more. I tried putting a narrower tire on, but it still looks off. The rim is about an inch outside the lip of the fender well

I think you've got the wrong wheels. Those look far enough outside the fender that rolling is not going to really help.
