Owensboro, huh? I used to live in Evansville. I would try a local forum.
I'm on tristatecarz. There is also evansvilleforums.
Someone might be able to better help you out.

Why do you need to roll your fenders...people keep saying they need to do this, but do you really...I haven't found a single set of rims yet that I have scrubbed with...
I had to have my fenders rolled in, I have 205/40/17 on Akita AK-6 460 with 40mm offset lowered on 1.5" B&G springs. I could here the tire scrap over any mild bump and taking corners. I did only have to do the rears though.
I would say a shop that lowers cars would almost have this tool and would do it for $50 per corner or so.

Maybe it is cause the only thing I have had on the car is OEM rims...I have been lowered on the Tein S-Techs for all sets though and not had problems...
Rims...
03 P5 (16's)
ADR Venomous Rims (18' was running a 245 width)
3.5 MSP (17's)
Mazda 3 (both 5 spoke and snowflakes), 17's
Mazda 6 (17's and 18's)
Speed6's (18's)
CX-7's (18's)
Speed3's (18's)
RX-8's (18's)
And like I said haven't rubbed once with any of these on...been lowered the entire time...had complete car loads (3 in the back)...

I ran 215 45 17's they were only on for a couple days before I sold them...that was the size of the tires that were on them when I bought them...

I run 215/40/17s on same wheels. No rubbing. I am lowered but I normally don't have more than 1 or 2 passengers or lots of cargo either.
OP: Like I said, there are a couple of guys locally who would probably be willing to at least point you in a good direction.

my stock wheels scrub... well not the fender but the inner frame rail as you will on full clock to the right with stock tire size and wheels.

The only way that I would think that would solve my issue is to add a small spacer up front.

See and this is what I don't understand...how do you rub on stock height loaded down but I am already dropped on the same rims and don't rub under full load...what width tire are you running...I have a 205...

It's all in the tires mainly... My previous set of tires I never rubbed on full clock to the right but my new ones i do and they are the same tire size! 215/45/17

True, I forget to consider this as well. I had a set of Dunlops that had that "rim protection rib" that stuck out further than the rim. My new Yokohamas do not have this. I can see that causing issues.
