Default pinch weld in wheel well.....

Have any of you ever had to roll this pinch weld before? It seems with my set up (2.3" drop with 205 45 16) that when I go hard into corners my tires rub on the pinch weld inside the top center of the wheel well and it's starting to cut the tires. If you have done it how did you do it and what did you use??

my buddys used a bat(or any round object) and dropped the car on the bat(stick in the wheel wells) then role it around...

what happens when yo do this is it pushes the inner part of the fender in... hope this is what your trying to find out.
