Default best way to flare/roll arches?

alright lads i need a little knowlage from some of the experts! im purchaseing a set of new wheels, but they are stickin out a little, iv a camber kit but id like to keep the camber as neutral as possible so im gettin the loan of a arch roller, my question is this. what is the best way to go about rolling the aches? the lip that turns in from the body, should i first cut it off and proced to flare the arch out? or leve the lip on and roll it out along with the pannel? any help is welcome

it looks cleaner with the lip still there and less chance of a sharp edge to cut a hand or tire. only other advice is buy a heat gun and use it on the paint so it doesn't crack or chip away when the fender starts to move. good luck

na lad i want a nice clean finish, the pipe trick can come out rough enough! thanks bud i was just thinking id get more of a flare if the lip was cut off and grinded back to the pannel, but i guess ill roll it with the lip still on! and iv a heat gun too so hopefully no cracked paint !!
