Talking Need fender lips rolled and possibly flared...Anyone know of a shop near Dallas?

I live in Lewisville tExas, which is pretty close to Dallas. I have gotten some Zr1 315's in the back recently and am experiencing unpleasurable rubbing, mostly on the right side. Anyone know of a shop that can roll the lip on the outside of the fenders, and possibly flare them? If so, could you give me a number, or if you work there, an estimate?! Thanks a ton.

????It will just be a little bit of painting, not the whole thing. I'll be getting a paint job soon enough, so if it looks a little bit bad, then oh well. I just need the rubbing fixed. Unless you have suggestions/leads for me, please don't post. It gets me all excited. LOL.

Is it a Camaro or a Firebird? My T/A has a Pro-kit (low) and 17x11 Grand Sport offset 17x11's and I the only time I can get the tires to rub is on a HARD corner. Firebirds have more clearance.

I have been told you can roll the fender lip with a wooden bat. Just gently roll it between the tire and the lip gradually rolling the lip up.

Whenever I hit big bounces in the road it grinds, but really only with people in the car...and a wooden bat?!?! I'm too much of a scaredy cat to try that myself!
