Rolling fenders ?
Has anyone rolled thier own rear fenders?

I am getting ready to lower my car and I want to prepare for the worst since I have 285's on the back.

Any advice on how to roll the rear fenders?

Isn't our fenders are already rolled? I never had this done but I remember my SA told me that ours are rolled. Was I misinformed?

Most of the fender is rolled but there is a small part of the rear inner rear fender that still sticks out.

It only needs to be worried about if you are drastically lowering your car with wider than stock tires on the back.

IMO the only way to have it done is to use the type of rolling tool that mounts to the car's axle via the lug bolt holes. The tool comes with different size roller arms so it's no problem to customize a fit. The tech will heat your paint first to prevent it from stress-cracking as the lip is pushed up. This may be the same tool that Tire Rack supplies for DIYers.

Just a guess here, but you might be able to get a place like Dent Wizard to roll the fender lips for you...
