rolling fender=bending the inner lip(the fender that touch the fender well/fender liner) to get some clearance(for oversized rims, excessive lowering, modified offset, etc)

in the rear i usually grind the lip away so it clears the tires. it looks better and you wont crack the paint.

was just about to say that, depending on your drop you might have to roll the fenders. If you are at stock height and don't plan on dropping it then you don't need to roll you frenders to ride on 225

If you have to roll your fenders to get tires to fit, your wheels are way to big.

You shouldn't have to roll any fenders if you have the correct offset on your rims.
