Rolled Fenders?

I just put wider wheels and tires on and I was worried about clearance. I noticed a lot of guys roll their fenders to make room which I had never heard of before today. After looking, I think my fenders were rolled by the previous owner.

What do you think? Have these been rolled?



I just lowered down as far as it would go to check clearance (not running it like this), and I only have about 1/16 - 1/8" clearance. Only 275s on 19x9.5s, so I guess the 35mm offset is not ideal for a 9.5" wide wheel. Plenty of room in the front, 8.5" with 32mm offset.



This is the height I've started out for day to day use:
