Default Fender Roll Help

Hey guys...Im new here and tried looking through the topics, youtube, and google for fender rolling clarification, but didnt have any luck on my specific car. Im hoping you all can help. I have a EJ8 and looking to put on some 15x8 +20 rims with 205/50/15s. Im currently lowered on Eibach sportlines and dampeners and need to roll my fenders. I actually did one fender with a Eastwood Roller, but ran into a issue where the rear fender and bumper meet. Looks like the corner of the fender has the regular lip (which im rolling) and also a smaller lip parallel to the bumper causing the fender to not roll flush and when trying to roll it out caused a lame dimple. So here is my question to the rollers out there:

1) how did you address that corner so it can sit "flatter" did you cut it?

2) what do you guys do with your bumpers? Did you trim those as well for more clearance?

Any input or assistance would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I ended up jacking up my fender on that corner, but managed to work the other three out. I actually ended up trimming both bumper corners to avoid rubbing. Now onto renting out my Eastwood kit to locals and getting body and paint done.
