    Is any of this going to crack the edging of the paint at the bend on the lip? And is there anyway to do it on the front or no... because of the plastic fenderwell?

    it won't crack the paint and you can do the front and back.

    i used a baseball bat and a buddy to roll my back fenders...now they tuck with no rubbing

    have someone put it in drive and coast forward while you roll the bat on the tire, and you end up with a perfectly rolled fender

    oh and use the small end of the bat!

    I believe Discount Tire will do it for a fee with a fender well rolling tool. They sell one on Eastwood tools dot com. I normally use the baseball bat trick.
