well from the outside you dont really see anything. if you look up from the ground you just see a rounded crease., from the inside you just see the lip bent inward. nothing really to see, wont change the appearance of your car

Does that crack your paint?! I have 315/35/17s on the rear and they only rub when I have someone 275lbs or heavier in the backseat

Re: fender lips rolled?

ya i got 315s also and it was rubbing only on the passenger side. It can crack the paint a bit, depending on how old, dry,. etc your paint is. If your paint is still fairly new theres a really ood chance it wont. The tool basically looks like a big skateboard wheel on an arm, that bolts to your hub. the wheel is pretty soft but can still crack the paint. I know people who have hammered the fenders too without problems. they took a utility knife and scored the paint along the edge of the lip, before it meets the outside of the fender. that way the paint only crack on the inside where you cant see it.
