nooooooooooooooooooooooo never roll your fenders. you can roll the front slightly but if you try and do it to the back it will leave dimples. search for my old post about rolling fenders. key word dimples. trust me it will scew them up.

Don't do it, you won't have to either with those offsets, unless you're going with 4x4 off the wall crazy tire size

I dont think you do...but if you have to, dont roll it, trim it instead...looks cleaner.

I've never had issues rolling any fenders on my cars, then again I've also had my tech roll them with a proper tool and not a baseball bat.

Do not roll the fenders. You have to shave them off. I just did it on my car because I just installed coil overs and put spacers in the rear so the rims would line up flush with the fender. Rolling the fenders will only create dimples. Find a DIY on here on how to shave/ trim the fenders.

I heard it was good to shave the back fenders and roll the front. Because if you shave the front dont it cut the tires if you turn?

Is it true? the best way to cut the rear fenders is w a belt sander. they mentioned to use 60 or 80 grits belt & 180 or 200 to smooth it out.

man shave the back until all the holes on the edge are gone then roll them, u'll get stock body lines no dimples and front u'll be ok if ur nto 2 low ur car usually squats when u turn, and also use heat gun to roll them wont crack ur paint or better yet heat lamps.
