i disagree. For autox our needs are basically the same. We just run wide tires with our wide wheels. I would personally go to MachIII and get my fenders pulled by Henry if I had the need (I pulled my fenders myself) as his work is awesome. FYI I run -3.5 degrees of camber, rolled and pulled fenders, but i run 295s 
. I also don't think you'll need to roll your fenders much if at all depending on your height

Same here, it cost a few dollars more than doing it myself but they came out perfect with no scratches or cracks. The LIC crew spent a lot of time softening the paint with a heat gun and then really took their time rolling the metal.
I run 245/40/18's without issues.

My only caution with the Hellaflush guys is that they have different intents and purposes for their suspension and body changes. My set up is meant for autocross and light track duty, while theirs is primarily for style [but I can be wrong]. My wheel and tire choice is different from what they run and I wanna make sure any required modifications are kept to the necessary minimum. No track or auto-x set up will ever require -3 camber, rolled and pulled fenders and stretched tires. Not saying anything bad about them [their cars look hella clean], but I just personally prefer advice from someone that has experience in modifying for the same intended purpose as me.

if you're gonna bring up the fact that we dont seem to bring home trophies from time attack... well, my car is not fully sponsored, nor are we a full out "Subie's only" shop. we just happen to have me who owns one, and have friends who have them lol. either way, try asking GST how much camber they run on their "L" yeah? oh... btw... usually if you're running R-comps or something more aggressive, you dont need as much camber... but since i'm running Toyo R1R which is still a street tire... hmm... iono... i seem to have a lot less understeer with my -3.5 up front than when i'm running -2.5....
