My brothers car, (an 87 coupe club racer) is at the paint shop. The shop owner is doing rolling the fenders prior to painting and did it a different way. He used hand tin snips and cut about half the flashing off the lip to allow for better bending of the lip and then gently crimped the whole well until it is perfectly flush. It looks unchanged from the stock wells. Even though it is done often, the problem with rolling unaltered wheel wells is there is a lot of metal to deform and bend to get flush. As a side note, I saw and SC that some JA completely cut the whole lip off. Not only does it look bad, it has absoulutely no resistance to deformation and bending. Consider adding some negative camber also. My fenders are bent slightly and I run 225 with 8's up front and never rubbed. The inner walls, well, that's another story.
