I assume you're referring to the rear fender. If the tire isn't hitting the fender lip (you say about 1" above the lip), rolling the lip isn't going to create more clearance where it's actually needed. The solution is either a narrower tire, use a different wheel offset or reshape the fender shape. Do you really want more negative camber?
You can also raise the vehicle height, but you probably don't want to do this unless it's really low. Constraining the suspension with stiffer springs, shocks and raised ride height are just momentary measures. One good roll over a dip in the road at speed will compress the suspension to the contact point.

Yes, I'm referring to the rear fender. I have 205/55-16 on 7" Fuchs, narrower tires is not an option, neither is raising the car.
It was the option to slightly reshape the fender with a "roller tool" that I was interested in, if it was possible. The paint might be hurt, but as it is right now I need some new paint anyway...
I don't want to add a carrera flare or anything, but a slight reshape should be pretty invisible.
