But my question wasn't about rolling the lip, it was if it was possible to use the same tool to reshape the fender where the tire is rubbing, slightly extending the flare of the stock fender.
If the roller could extend to that area, it would be sort of like 1/2 of an English wheel. However, English wheels need to be on both sides to stretch and reshape, and English wheels made out of plastic/rubber aren't going to faze the metal. In addition, are you expecting the paint coatings to stretch?

A body hammer and dolly in the hands of an experienced sheet metal craftsman is what you're looking for.
