You're basically deforming the metal of the fender to give you more clearance for larger or wider wheels.

there's a tool that can do it smoothly which some shops have..

or you can use a baseball bat yourself like Dave here:

if you can't get a fender roller then i prefer a hammer. small ball pin preferred. (if you don't care about your paint cracking.

just be careful with it.. don't want to mess up the paint and crack it. be patient

or there are some places that'll rent out fender rollers like these:


and heat gun will help.

Yes! make sure you heat the areas before you start to roll them! i rolled my CRX fenders so i could fit my 7.5" wheels. Don't rush it or you will crack the paint!!!

Thats my baby
