Does any one who lives in Long Island,NY know someone who knows how to roll fenders so i can lower my car and the wheels dont rub.
 
With the proper off-set wheels, rolling of the edges shouldn't be, and isn't necessary.
Especially on a Monte SS, they have probably the largest wheel openings of all the g-bodies...

The rear wheel wells can be done with a hammer and dolly.

Due to how the front wheel-wells attach to the fenders, you really can't do anything with them unless you discard the entire wheel well.
 
Ive talked to alot of people about this and everyone who has lowered there car has said they had to roll there fender due to some rubbing the rims. Im going with a rim 18x10 so i rather spend some money doing it then mess up my rim and tire but thanks for your answer.
 
Here's how I did them on my Firebird and the 94 Camaro I used to own. I used an air saw to make the cuts and carefully bent back the tabs using a combination of my hands, a body hammer, and dolly:

East wood sells a couple fender rollers. I don't know how much money you want to spend but I would go with the more expensive just because it looks like it would do a better, cleaner job. You could always rent it out or do other peoples fenders to recoup some money too.
