Rolling Rear Fenders on EG8 Sedan.

Rolling Rear Fenders on EG8 Sedan.
Just added new Rims and Tires, and coil overs. I lowered it, but it's not slammed. The tires are scrubbing on all the dips in the road, the fronts fine, but the rear is scrubbing. I don't want to raise it back up, because it looks great, I'd rather just Roll the fenders out, but I was looking at it, and the area is so small, I was wondering if you even CAN roll the fenders out? So, I'm just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible? Or should I just get some skinnier tires, I don't have stretched tires or anything. Just Basic bigger, nicer rims, and some fairly meaty tires.

Roll the fenders out? You don't roll fenders out. You roll fenders in (or under), or flare fenders out.
Buy a flaring tool. Use it. Sell it or keep it.

Like said above you roll the lip, you pull or flair the fender out. I have used a base ball bat with the car jacked up enough to get the bat between fender and wheel. I have used this method several times and it worked great.

I honestly wouldn't want to do it myself without the proper tool for it that I know they make, I'd let someone else do it that has done it that way. But I don't want to mess it up. I get the idea on how to do it. It's just the method, and the tool. I know the difference between rolling out, and flaring out, and everything. I just left it in the open with the most basic term for doing it to your car, figured you'd have enough common sense to understand what I was saying. The rudeness was unnecessary. I'm new to any body work, suspension work, all that. I know about working on the motors, that's why I asked. But is there somewhere you can rent the proper tool for the job? Or can I just take it to an auto body shop and have them do it fairly fast?

Re: Rolling Rear Fenders on EG8 Sedan.
i had a simmilar problem when my rear springs went out (before the ones i currently have) and are you sure you are hitting the fender and not the wheel well?

It's possible to roll the fenders flat/pull , but since your wheel hub is closer to the fender , you would have to take out the bolt that holds the bottom of your coilover to the lower control arm so that the fender roller could fit
