cutting fenders instead of rolling???????
in stead of rolling your fenders has anyone just cut off the lip on the inside of the fenders? if so did you run into any problems and did it look ok? or would rolling them be a better solution
yes i know things cant get messed up from rolling them so u dont have to tell me about it, unless your telling me how it happened on your car.

That is a VERY bad idea. Like already mentioned an unfinished edge will be prone to rusting, and the lip increases rigidity in the fender.

if i did cut them i would go over it with some touch up to prevent rust so im not really worried about that but the rigidity issue might be a problem maybe i should just roll them?????

I cut the lip off the fender on two of my cars and never had a problem.

shaving can get your more clearance than rolling, plus you don't have to risk your paint when you roll it.
just touch it up and use a coat of silicone and prevent rust.

WTF?
anything will rust if you don't take care of it.
if your wheel and tire sticks out that much, then nothing short of widebody or wide fender can help.
if your set up is wide enought to hit the shaved fender you will for sure hit the rolled fender(with less clearance).
