I just found out that when I have people in my back seat and hit a bump, my rear tires are rubbing ever so slightly in the rear. Do I just need to get the lip of the fender bent up so it doesnt rub the tire?

Look at the inside of your rear fender, and see if you can tell where it's rubbing. If it's only on the folded over part of the fender material you should be fine with it rolled.

Take a nice round piece of metal, the bigger the better for a smooth roll, and put it beween your tire and fender. If your car is lowered too much you might have to jack it up a tiny bit, but don't have the tire off the ground. Then just work it back and forth till you bend that part of the fender back a bit. Don't press to hard or you will bend something you don't want to.... doh.

Luck!

or if you can find a shop that will rent a fender roller; that will work too.

I guess you could use a wood bat as well. I was pretty carefull, but piece of mind is good too.

My cousin had his done and they used a wooden bat, and it didnt crack the paint or leave creases anywhere.. Took about a minute a wheel..

Yep..Baseball bat is the correct tool for this job

Louisville Slugger is the recommended Bat for this mod. If you take it to a shop or even DIY, you need to heat the paint first so that you won't crack it.

metal bat ok?

Knightmare69

You probably could use a metal one but most use the above suggested bat above.

And how do you heat the paint???

RussMaxManiac

I recommend getting a heat gun or a blow dryer, and heat the paint and metal up in the area before doing this. So it helps the paint not crack.

Knightmare69

You would heat the pain from under the fender. This usually requires that you take off the fender panel to expose the bare metal under the fender. Then you run your heat gun or hairdryer over the part that you're rolling and slowly roll the fender lip.
