Rolling the front fenders
So the front tires rub slightly on the inner fender lip when the car goes over a bump and the wheel is turned. It looks like the fender lip can just get rolled back in and the problem would be solved but i'm afraid to do it myself. Has anyone done this before and if so what tools did you use? Or anyone know of a shop on Long Island that would do this?
Thanks for the help.

Yea i have it lowered and its a 20x9.5 in front. It bent the inside lip slightly and scrapped the tire a bit so i am riding at the highest setting until i can get it rolled.

Def. roll it or lift the car a bit higher. I dont think that rolling will come in handy when you are in a turn, rolling fenders is so that when your wheels are straight you can tuck the tire without rubbing it. Are you on lowering links?
