rolling the fenders is a process where you get a little tool that mounts to your lug nuts, and theres this roller on the inside of the wheel well, and you turn the roller, and it rolls that lip on the inside of the fenderwell so that you have more clearence for tires adn what not, so you dont rub...the ghetto way is with a baseball bat.

Did you take your fenders off? I used a hammer and a board.

Tried a baseball bat.. Didn't do much. So hammer it was... Very nice. There's the the rubber protector to put back on it anyways. plus you can't see the lip if you put it up far enough. Never rubbed in the first place, but after coilovers and slammed, still doesn't. Whatever you do, don't tell the shop to do it. It costs an arm and a leg.

You just have to watch out for chipping the paint when you are rolling the fenders. My friend heard you can use a bat, and he must have done it hardcore becase there was paint chipping where the fender was rolled. Just take your time and you should be all good.
