Need a quick answer guys. Question about rolling fender to fit my 335's?

I got some 335's on my ttII rims in the rear. I have the eibach pro kit. 1" drop. When I did the drop the 335's rubbed the top of each fender. So I took some adjustable spring clips from autozone and raised the back up about 3/4".

I want to have the car ride normal now with the eibachs and withought the adjustment clips.

My question. Is it possible and how do I do it? I need and rear fender to flare out about 3/4" to clear the meats nicely. I already have the inner lip bent in and flush with the outter fender. I need the entire rear fender edge to bulge out about 3/4".

Can I use a baseball bat to roll it?

This is a 94z so im not tooooooo worried about messing it up. I just want it to look good.

If its not possible unless a body shop does it then ill just get some different tires.

Thanks!

Joe

Yeah but how do you roll the fenders with the bat. Do you have someone in the car when it is on ground level, and have them put the car in drive and slowly move foward while I jam the bat between the tire and the fender?


Thanks,

Joe

Just out of curiousity, how did you bend up the fender lip? Did you have to do any touch-up work after you bent it up?

Just place the bat at the front of the fender against the tire, and then have someone push the car forward so that the bat rolls along the tire and bends the lip of the fender.
