Why? Theres not downsides to rolling a fender

If you anywhere close I would say it should be done. Ive had rim/tire combos that were pushing the limits and went a long time without rubbing but eventually did and it ruined the tire. Its also extremely unsafe to be in aggressive drving and start rubbing.

Ive used the ghetto bat but Ive also rented this tool:

Which works extremely well.

It doesnt molest the body of the car at all. Its just folding the inner lip which is not visible.

You can crack the paint though so you just need to be patient when doing it and use a heat gun.

I had Tom at Lucent do it. Body work is an art, not a science. Leave it to a pro.
