Try M-Motorsport in San Bruno. Ask for Billy...they did my wife's 740i with no paint cracking. The fenders should be heated first to soften the paint before applying force to prevent cracking.
I had Autoplus, where I go for all alignment and susp. work but they never heated my fenders so I have a few little chips on the inside.
I shoulda said something but they always hook me up.

Jack Perkins at Automotive Perfection in Redwood City use to do it...but he is VERY hard to find these days at his shop. I was there when he did it...he is very good at using a bat..and not cracking paint. Remember, go to someone that is very experienced in this stuff. Go to a hack..get a hack job.

Talk to Jerry (olaf berserker on norcalvw)... He is a great guy, does good work. He is in the bay area. Tell him Benny with the Avant sent you.

it's the process of rolling your fenders. [:p]
if your tires rub up front or in the rear, it's because it's hitting the fender. so you need to roll the edges inward to make more clearance for the wheels. search the B5 threads, i responded to a post in there that had illustrations of what is exactly being rolled.

If you weren't such a pimp, you would just raise your ride so it don't rub anymore [;)]
p.s. did you hear that my girl got an e36 M3? Guess what I'm rollin...

OK..whats the price range we are lookin at here? I'd probably have to get mine rolled to get the wider rubber I wanna put on my car eventually.
