So.......I rolled my fenders.
Even though I still have about 8 weeks for my wheels to come in, I figured I would grab the heat gun and the westwood roller and roll the fenders. It didnt come out too bad. I was happy with it.
I ended up gaining 1/4"
Just wanted to share.

No paint chipping or paint cracking whatsoever. If the lip would have been any smaller I would have masked it, then dremeled it.
Thanks guys.

I'm not sure it I should cut or roll. I've rolled a few cars in the past. Did you doing anything to the fronts?

No not yet, I'm going to wait till the wheels come in then begin cutting and whatnot to make sure runnign is not an issue.

well to prevent your wheels (Lip) from rubbing if your wheels are aggressive you're going to have to shave them if you're planning to tuck..
