theres several different ways to roll fenders...i've done it so many different ways.
1: Wooden base ball bat...the wood absorbs the weight so that the paint on your fender wont crack. THis would be my first choice. First you need to jack up your car enough to get the baseball bat between the tire and the fender. slowly lower the car enough to get pressure on the bat start from left to right. then you just roll the bat over the tire and PRESTO. YOUR fenders are rolled. I'd be really carful. I've jacked up a few fenders in my time..and its not a really good feeling either.
2:Use a dremel to trim away the edge of the fender"BE CAREFUL" you dont want to jack up your fender. If your not good with tools then i'd use teh base ball bat
you also need to take your time...when u rush your gonna have ugly fenders
3: Just raise up your car LOL

i rolled my fenders last year to fit in some 215/40/17's, it worked but only if you didn't hit up those nasty bumpstops and if you didn't have fat people riding with you. this year i'm gonna try trimming the fenders and see what happens.
