A guy at my school has a black saleen replica with the replica 18x10 black saleen rims in back with 295/35's and his tires are torn apart. My buddy that has an audi A4 wraps a towel around a baseball bat, preferably metal, and is able to bend the inside part.. if you are careful it should work out for you

man havn't heard that term in along time......I knew a guy years ago he had a 65 t bird that was slammed, and he said they rolled the fenders. I asked him how they did it he said they used a baseball bat, wedged it in between the tire and the fenderwell and and slowly rolled the car forward(with the bat at the rear of the car) causing the bat to roll around the tire /fender bending the lip up. that's about all I can tell ya. never done it, never seen it done personaly. you might ask a body shop, speed shop.....good luck

There is a group of guys from Indy that did some wheel well rolling, go to corral and ask in the indy Hangout thread.
