I've rolled my fenders with a base-ball bat on a MUSTANG..... but never on a benz.
If not careful it will crease and look bad.

If it were my benz.... I'd got to a pro.

I do know a few have done some minor clearancing on the inside rear fenders to dremel or air grind out the inside plastic and metal for slightly widers wheels..... but not physically moving the fender out with a bat.

I rolled and pulled my own fenders...Did it with a heat gun, telephone book and a wooden bat.....no creases; no cracks. Theres a pic floating around with the outcome, I'll try to find it for you.

Never had my front rub on the fender but they do on the fender liner when I am making a sharp turn. When my cars goes in the the kleemann treatment I'm going to do some shaping with a heat gun.

What ET are your wheels? I have the same size fronts and H&R and they clear the fender.

You have to have good hand control if you're going to do it that way. I've seen people use almost everything imaginable to roll fenders. However, in this day an age, fender rollers are common enough to buy/rent/etc, where I wouldn't risk it.

i went to a tire shop
the tire is actually rubbing againster the black plastic part in front of tire not the actual metal fender

i went to platinum motorsports in LA and they told me there is nothing they can do about it...which i think is BS...i know ppl have melted it and pushed it open more

Oh if it's just the inner plastic liner.... heat gun and melt away..... GL.

I go this with plastic jetski gas tanks (empty of course) to clearance for bigger exhaust etc.... use heat gun to make soft.... then shape with bat.... and cool with water. GL.
