How to : Roll fender (Several Methods, post yours!)
This is something I'm going to be doing in the near future so I found a few good walkthroughs with plenty of pictures. For those who don't know rolling the fenders rolls the inner flat lip of the fender areas in order to increase wheel well area. This is usually necessary when excessively lowering the car escpecially with wider wheels. It allows you to compensate a little bit more for negative camber as it offers more room to correct the wheel angle. The first is the rolling of a new mazda with the proper tool, the second is again the proper tool on a bmw, the last is how to roll the fenders using a round piece of wood. I know some people have methods of using a bat, so feel free to post some links and pictures of rolling the fenders.

Only thing I'v ever used is a baseball bat wraped with a beach towl. Jack the car up a little to get the bat between the tire and fender and lower and begin rolling the bat back and forth. That is the only way I know how to roll a fender.
Anyone know where you can either rent or purchase that tool that attaches to the hub?
What about sanding the lip down to a couple centimeters from the 1/2" or so?
Or could that cause damage down the road w/ the panel(s)?

there we go, its 50 bucks they ship it to you, then you ship it back, not a bad deal if you can't find a place locally to rent one from.
