Fender roller in OC?

I installed some new wheels on my W210. Tires are rubbing, but using stock size tires. Any recommendations on a fender roller?

Dan,

I had my front fenders rolled at EF1 Motorsports in Signal Hill, CA. Paid Fab about $20 to do it. They use an actual fender roller. Another route would be to take off the wheels and pound on the inside lip with a shot filled plastic mallet while heating the paint with a heat gun to soften it up.

TWS "rolled" my fenders last Friday. They did not use a heat gun or the hawkeye roller tool. Instead they used a mallet.

End result, cracked and flaking paint.
