im glad to see this thread revived. I will be running on air soon, and i was told by a fellow modder (subi guy) to roll the fenders. But from reading this thread, i know which way to go. iSuxel, did djkhanvict cut his fenders before he went on air?

Cut the rears and roll the fronts. If I were you make sure they know how to roll the fronts, aka use the tool thats made for rolling. I should just buy one myself to be honest. BUT for sure cut the rears.

Rolling the front is better because the front tires turn and so on, which means if ur at a full lock... u might end up cutting into the tire deeper then if it was stationary like the rears.
