Rolling fenders?

My rear wheels have crazy rubbing issues because of the offset. I remember reading about rolling fenders before, but nothing specific, just something about a baseball bat. Is this even possible on 4 door cars? The door is so close, it would probably make it either impossible to roll, or the door wouldn't close anymore. Anyone know aything about this?

stick the big end of the bat in the fender well on the side where it fits roll it along the tire till it touches the fender and the tire and push the handle towards the ground. twist the bat so that the inner lip of the fender gets rolled up towards the inside of the fender. roll the car forewards or backwards to asist in the twisting of the bat. repeat till finished.

i need to do this. i just need a bat

I rolled mine with a bat.

If your tires are rubbing where the rear door is, joo got bigger problems mang.

To clarify, you are rolling the fender lip, not the fender. From the outside, the car looks bone stock still.

I actually forget that my fenders are rolled.

Do it on the warmest day you can, to prevent paint chips.... wait, it doesn't matter for you, lol.

Jason has it right. I did mine. I need to re-do them so I don't rub as much.
