Front wheels
I am going to rotate the tires from side to side. When I have it jacked up, do I have to remove the fenders to get the wheels off or will they just tilt and come off easily ?

No need to remove the fenders. You can wiggle them out.
But why bother taking the wheels off yourself than take them to tire shop?
Prices would vary but a local shop rotated mine for $20.

You should not have to remove the fenders but the higher you can get the Spyder off the ground the better. If your tires are the OEM tires they are a directional tire and will have to be dismounted from the rim to be rotated.

Removing the mud flaps does make it soooooooooooooooooo much easier tho........just saying.....Mike...

Well, it was done for $20, unmounted, flipped and balanced, in Los Angeles. I think that's still in US.
I bought my rear tire from them so that might have played a roll.
When I bought my fronts from discount tire, I also got their service/warranty contract that included lifetime rotation but they charged me $5 each tire to rotate Because contract doesn't include unmounting of tires...

Hey Mike, less than $20 for all three.... pic for proof
At WallyWorld, it is cheaper if you remove them yourself and take them in to get them unmounted & remounted, plus they can usually work you in much quicker than if they have to do it all, then you have to wait in line with all the rest

Dave I meant to ask you if they also did your rear tire....that's the one car shops have a problem doing...I have a large Walmart near me but no tire service.....I'll have to see about Costco......thanks ..Mike

19k miles on my OEM tires...still look cherry-new. Never heard of rotating them, but as they are directional treaded, the rubber would have to be removed and reversed.
