If you look inside the wheel fender you'll see an edge or lips which is about 1 inch wide, when rolled inside up it will leave more room for wider tire or perhaps wheel spacer that push the wheel toward the outside. If your car have 2 more inches of contact patch it will handle a little better.

Cheers

it's not necessary when you get the good offset! but widening the track would be great! but the front are already as wide as possible!

I used a ball-peen hammer to roll mine and didn't have any problems with paint cracking.

in the warmer area like tejas..paint is less likely to crack when trying to roll (a fender...not the funky sea weed).

Didn't Polo want to do that?

I think he'd know what you need, although there are good suggestions.
