Can somebody explain(and show pics) of what it means to roll a fender, &how to do it.

Just want to get an idea on what it means, and how to do it just in case I have to when I put my new rear end in and 4th gen offset style wheels. I am going with ZR1's 17x11 rear P295/35/R17 and 9.5 front with P275/40/R17. If you can show pics of the process, that would be great. I'm not a body man, and don't have the tools to do body work, so if it is something that a professional is better off doing, then by all means don't try to spare my feelings and tell me. Thanks, Paul Moore

Body hammer and dolly would do the same thing too (save you the $250 for the tool).

I don't own that tool, or would I ever buy one, I just posted it because it had good pictures of what it did.
